Lyrics: The Wedding Present. Don't Take Me Home Until 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 fiance
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?
