  • I could tell by the way you sounded when you called
    That I wasn't gonna like what you had to say
    I could read between the lines
    There was somethin' different this time
    You're comin' over tonight 'cause it couldn't wait
    Now you're in the drive, I'm a wreck inside
    As you walk in through that door

    You look like I need a drink right now
    You like like you're gonna try to let me down, nice and easy
    Think I know why you won't sit down
    You're just dancin' around what you came here to do
    But you're scared to
    And all I can think, the way you're lookin' at me
    You look like I need a drink

    Been a little over a year since you were standin' right here
    And I was nervous for a whole 'nother reason
    Now it's a little bit hard, bein' this caught off guard
    Watchin' you tryin' to not hurt my feelings

    You look like I need a drink right now
    You look like you're gonna try to let me down, nice and easy
    Think I know why you won't sit down
    You're just dancin' around what you came here to do
    But you're scared to
    And all I can think, the way you're lookin' at me
    You look like I need a drink

    You look like I need a drink

    I don't know how this ends
    Or where this goes
    But the only thing I know is

    You look like I need a drink right now
    You look like you're gonna try to let me down, nice and easy
    Think I know why you won't sit down
    You're just dancin' around what you came here to do
    But you're scared to
    And all I can think, the way you're lookin' at me
    You look like I need a drink
    You look like I need a drink
    Yeah, you look like I need a drink right now, baby
    Like I need a drink, yeah
    A nice stiff drink Writer/s: Matthew Peters Dragstrem, Natalie Hemby, Rodney Clawson
