Oh What A Night
Elle Varner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm looking crazy
Got numbers on my hand
I'm such a freaking lady
My mouth is dry
I'm feeling kinda grimmy
'Cause I got this hangover to remind me
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
And I got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
My rommie says I bought the club a round on my tab
And I was so far gone she had to call me a cab
But I won't let nobody tell me nothing
'Cause all in all I had that party rocking
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
And I got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
Well maybe I was trippin'
Just a little who am I?
Kidding, hanging with the boys too long
And I quit sipping
Look at me buying bottles
It's for my team
I don't do it for the models shit
I still remember hanging at the bar
Hoping I could get a drink or two
From a player or a star
And now I got my money in the ballas
I'll take your number but I'll probably never call you 'cause
Baby, I'm a lil' bit buzzed
And right now you look good in this club
But it could be a whole 'nother side
When they turn on the light,
They turn on the light
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
Done got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
Done got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
I hate to be a quitter,
But I'm thinking 'bout my liver
And the liquour that I give it
Is gonna kill me even quicker
And I'm already a natural disaster
Don't need nothing to be taking me no faster
I really gotta go and see my pastor
What a night

Line by Line Meaning
My clothes and all my makeup smeared
My appearance is disheveled and chaotic
I'm looking crazy
I resemble someone who is disturbed and out of control
Got numbers on my hand
I am marked with symbols from my wild night out
I'm such a freaking lady
Despite my current appearance, I still consider myself a lady
My mouth is dry
I feel dehydrated from my excessive drinking
I'm feeling kinda grimmy
I feel dirty or unclean
'Cause I got this hangover to remind me
The unpleasant aftereffects of drinking too much serve as a reminder of my reckless behavior
Oh what a night, oh what a night
This was an unforgettable experience that I will remember for a long time
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
I consumed a potent tequila mixed with lime that contributed to my wild night
And I got myself too drunk to drive
I made a poor decision to drink and now I am unable to drive safely
I left my car parked at the club
I abandoned my car at the venue where I was partying
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I was unable to locate my vehicle the next morning
I barely made it home alive
I struggled to make it home safely despite the dangerous state that I was in
My rommie says I bought the club a round on my tab
My roommate informed me that I generously paid for drinks for everyone at the club using my tab
And I was so far gone she had to call me a cab
I was too intoxicated and my roommate had to order a taxi for me
But I won't let nobody tell me nothing
I am independent and refuse to let anyone control me
'Cause all in all I had that party rocking
Despite the negative consequences, I had an amazing time and the party was a success
Well maybe I was trippin'
Perhaps I was misunderstanding the situation or hallucinating
Just a little who am I?
I'm not sure if I made a mistake or overreacted
Kidding, hanging with the boys too long
I was making a joke and I stayed out too late with my male friends
And I quit sipping
I stopped drinking alcohol
Look at me buying bottles
I purchased expensive bottles for myself and others
It's for my team
The extravagant spending was for the people I was with
I don't do it for the models shit
I am not buying drinks to impress women
I still remember hanging at the bar
I recall my past struggles in trying to get a drink at the bar
Hoping I could get a drink or two
I used to wish for just one or two drinks, but now I have access to more expensive options
From a player or a star
I wanted a drink from a popular or influential person
And now I got my money in the ballas
Now I have the financial means to purchase drinks for others
I'll take your number but I'll probably never call you 'cause
I will take your phone number, but it is unlikely that I will call you
Baby, I'm a lil' bit buzzed
I am slightly intoxicated
And right now you look good in this club
I find you attractive in this club environment
But it could be a whole 'nother side
I may have a different opinion of you if we were in a different setting
When they turn on the light,
When the lights come on at the end of the night,
They turn on the light
the true nature of the situation is illuminated
I hate to be a quitter,
I don't like to give up or quit
But I'm thinking 'bout my liver
I am worried about the long-term health effects of my drinking on my liver
And the liquour that I give it
The alcohol that I consume adds stress to my liver
Is gonna kill me even quicker
This behavior will likely have fatal consequences
And I'm already a natural disaster
I am already prone to accidents and hazardous situations
Don't need nothing to be taking me no faster
I should avoid activities that make me even more prone to danger
I really gotta go and see my pastor
I need to seek guidance and support from a spiritual leader
What a night
What an unforgettable experience
