How Many Drinks?
Miguel (feat. Kendrick Lamar) Lyrics

Frustration (watching you dance)
Feeling impatient to get involved with you while you dance.

Hesitation (to get in them pants)
Feeling unsure whether or not to make a move towards physical intimacy with you.

Come closer baby (so I can touch)
Asking you to move closer so they can initiate physical contact with you.

One question, am I moving too fast?
Asking if they're coming on too strong and making you uncomfortable.

Cause' I ain't leaving alone feel like I could be honest babe
Expressing their desire to leave the party or event with you and be honest about their desires and intentions.

We both know that we're grown
Acknowledging mutual maturity and understanding of what's happening between them.

That's why I wanna know
Asking how many drinks it would take for you to agree to leave with them.

Temptation (is calling your name)
Noticing that you're feeling tempted by them.

Sweet persuasion, oh (baby this is a game)
Using charm and persuasion to convince you to be intimate with them.

Come closer baby (if you like what you hear)
Asking you to come closer if you're interested in what they're saying or doing.

Impassioned (is what I'm making you feel)
Being passionate and causing you to feel strong emotions and physical desire.

Aha, and what do we have
Reflecting on the current situation and what's in front of them.

Your empty heart and my empty bottle and yellow cab
Noticing that you're feeling emotionally empty and they're drunk and ready to take you home.

That you are likely to catch but your latest ex made you mad
Noting that you're single but may still be emotionally affected by your most recent breakup.

So I figured the perfect catch would be you if I made the pass
Thinking that you would be the ideal person to be intimate with if they made a move on you.

Pool full of liquor then we dive in it
Making a metaphor about diving into a pool of liquor to describe their desire for physical intimacy.

Knowing if I lick her I might die in it
Being so consumed by their physical attraction to you that they might get lost in the moment and lose self-control.

Then reincarnate as a fly gymnast
Using a humorous metaphor to describe a sexual act.

Just to flip my tongue on you
Describing their desire to perform oral sex on you.

This the Olympics
Comparing the physical act of sex to an athletic competition.

State your name, live in the moment
Asking you to introduce yourself and be present in the present moment.

It's your time to own it, I see it in you baby
Encouraging you to be confident and own your desires and decisions.

She tell me that she never get a first let away
Implying that you've never had a one-night stand before.

And life is a bitch, but every dog has its day
Acknowledging that life can be tough, but eventually, everyone has their moment to shine or achieve what they want.

Holla pull up, pull up, bring it back, come rewind
Asking the DJ to rewind the music so they can dance with you again.

Pull up them bittracks, that pack come behind
Asking the DJ to play a certain type of music or song that will create a certain vibe or atmosphere.

Pull 'em to the side, let me slide up in it
Asking you to move away from the crowd so they can kiss or be intimate with you.

Or waste your time, or waste your time
Deciding whether they want to pursue being intimate with you or not.

Or waste our time, baby it's alright
Acknowledging that they don't want to waste anyone's time, but it's okay if nothing happens.

I don't wanna waste my time, no
Reiterating that they don't want to waste their time.

I don't wanna waste no time, oh no
Reiterating that they don't want to waste any time at all.

I don't wanna waste your time, babe
Reiterating that they don't want to waste your time either.

I don't wanna waste our time, oh my time, oh whoa, now
Stressing that they don't want to waste anyone's time and reiterating their point one final time.

No no no, I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
Explicitly stating that they aren't judging your decision to be intimate with them tonight.

What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
Encouraging you to do what feels right for you and not feel ashamed or judged for it.

I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
Reiterating that they don't judge you for your decision.

What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
Reiterating that they support your decision and want you to feel empowered to make it.
