The Wedding Present The Wedding Present - Don't Take Me Home Untill I'm Drunk

The heavens were alive with stars
She pointed out which one was Mars
Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk
She used a phrase of Holly Golightly's from 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'
She said: Don't take me home until I'm drunk
Very drunk indeed!

We talked about a second date
She said that meeting me was fate
And, though I don't believe in that crap, I said: Yes
We both knew where the night would end
But when we kissed, I won't pretend, I still shook with apprehension, I confess

And then I said: I could fall in love with you
But, as I recall, she said: I like you too

And that little word was the warning sign
That little word meant she'd never be mine, as I discovered the next day
A text on my phone saying
I don't know whether I mentioned him last night
But I'm getting back together with my old fiancé
I'm sorry, by the way

And, when I think about that night
I wonder if perhaps I might not have done every single thing I could
But, deep down, I know I was blind
She just used me to make up her mind
But if I had to do it all again, I would

And then I said: I could fall in love with you
But, as I recall, she said: I like you too
Yeah, I could fall in love with you
But as I recall, she said: I like you too
