  • Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied
    Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied
    Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied

    Who is this staying over? I can't recall her name
    She lies there on the sofa every morning like Lorraine
    Her waistline gets a rub, retrace our night of fun
    These constant slap-dash flashbacks of our (date night down the pub)
    I hear somebody leaving, somebody heaving, somebody barely breathing
    It's hard to remember where it descended, started as the quietest evening
    I don't wanna live in this drama, I can't keep playing this game
    But the Friday night delights outweigh the Sunday morning pain, let's do it again

    (I said) Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied
    Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied
    Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied

    She's still here staying over, still can't recall her name
    She lies here on the sofa every morning like Lorraine
    We start to feel the love, another little night of fun
    These constant slap-dash flashbacks of our (date night down the pub)
    The girl is attached so I'm heading out the back door
    Past the bloke with the smokes and the slack jaw
    So fit, they all think she's an actor
    (What is her name? What is her name?)
    Hop on that train, it's the weekend sagas
    Should've stopped but we've gone too far now
    Don't stop, yeah we've gone too far now
    Can't stop, yeah we've gone too far now

    (One more time, let's go)

    Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied (satisfied)

    (Are you ready? One more time
    Everybody in the building)

    Yo, stepped to the bar, purchased a beverage
    In the morning, sure of brain hemorrhage
    Shot of tequila, soda, vodka
    Got a couple ladies on my radar
    Used to be rucks down at Oceana
    Then we did pub crawls, caused palaver
    Now we stay awake tryna make car's race
    In the hope that we see mañana

    I can keep you satisfied, I can keep you satisfied
    I can keep you satisfied, I can keep you satisfied

    Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied
    Oh darling, let's stay up all night
    Drinking whisky, telling stories, I can keep you satisfied Writer/s: Elliot Gleave, Jamie Raynolds, Kevin Scales, Mark Knight
