Tequila Talkin
Kameron Marlowe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I had to come over and ask your name
And I ain't gonna lie, I might have had one or two
But you're givin' me a feeling that I can't shake
That ain't the tequila talkin' babe
The way you're smiling's got me thinking maybe
We should let the salt and the lime have its way
Baby, I'm fallin'
And that ain't the tequila talkin'
I know the Cuervo can make you say some things
But I mean every word coming outta my mouth
There's just something 'bout how you're looking now breaking down all my walls
Got me buzzing on something stronger than alcohol
That ain't the tequila talkin' baby
The way you're smiling's got me thinking maybe
We should let the salt and the lime have its way
We'll make up our minds tomorrow, but either way
Baby, I'm fallin'
That ain't the tequila talkin'
No, no
Girl, I wanna hold you dancing
Swinging to the cover band and
Lean on in and kiss you while we sway
That ain't the tequila talkin' babe
The way you're smiling's got me thinking maybe
We should let the salt and the lime have its way
We'll make up our minds tomorrow, but either way
Yeah, baby, I'm all in
And that ain't the tequila talkin'
Aw no
That ain't the, that ain't the tequila talkin'
In Kameron Marlowe's song "Tequila Talkin'", the lyrics depict a man who approaches a woman and admits to having one or two drinks but expresses that his genuine feelings for her are not a result of the tequila. Although tequila is known for making people say things that they don't mean, the singer assures the woman that his feelings for her are sincere. He asks her to dance with him and imagines a future with her.
The use of alcohol as a romantic context is not new to the music industry. However, the way Marlowe approaches the topic is interesting. "Tequila Talkin'" challenges the stereotype of using a specific type of alcohol to loosen one's tongue and transform someone into a social butterfly. Instead, it speaks to the feeling that alcohol can amplify, rather than create, by acknowledging that the alcohol only intensified the emotions he already had for the woman. The lyrics also touch on the idea of seizing the moment and exploring the possibility of a relationship, even if it is just for one night.

[Verse 1]
I bet you get this all the time
But I had to come over and ask your name
And I ain't gonna lie, I might have had one or two
But you're givin' me a feeling that I can't shake
[Chorus]
That ain't the tequila talkin' babe
The way you're smiling's got me thinking maybe
We should let the salt and the lime have its way
We'll make up our minds tomorrow, but either way
Baby, I'm fallin'
And that ain't the tequila talkin'
[Verse 2]
I know the Cuervo can make you say some things
But I mean every word coming outta my mouth
There's just something 'bout how you're looking now breaking down all my walls
Got me buzzing on something stronger than alcohol
[Chorus]
That ain't the tequila talkin' baby
The way you're smiling's got me thinking maybe
We should let the salt and the lime have its way
We'll make up our minds tomorrow, but either way
Baby, I'm fallin'
And that ain't the tequila talkin'
No, no
[Bridge]
Girl, I wanna hold you dancing
Swinging to the cover band and
Lean on in and kiss you while we sway
[Chorus]
That ain't the tequila talkin' babe
The way you're smiling's got me thinking maybe
We should let the salt and the lime have its way
We'll make up our minds tomorrow, but either way
Yeah, baby, I'm all in
And that ain't the tequila talkin'
Aw no
That ain't the, that ain't the tequila talkin'

I don't have to listen to the recording on the couch anymore! You finally recorded it! You should almost release an acoustic version though too with that hammer on in the "that ain't the tequila talking".
