Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring me some rum with your sweet talk
Somewhere is here
And my request is quite clear
You've been on my mind all year
Where're you going?
Don't go na na na na
Stay right here
Guess you were right all along,
I'm drunk
But I can tell, I can tell, I can
Tell you're my type of girl
All I want, all I want
Is for you a I
Where're you going?
Don't go na na na na
Please stay
Back here
Cuz' I can tell, I can tell, I can
Tell you're my type of girl
All I want, all I want
Where're you going?
Don't go na na na na
Please stay
And held the cards
And bring me my rum with your sweet talk
Somewhere is here
And my request is quite clear
You've been on my mind all year
So don't go
Cuz' you were right all along
I'm drunk.
