How Many Drinks?
Miguel Ft. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hesitation (to get in them pants)
Come closer baby (so I can touch)
One question, Am I moving too fast?
'Cause I ain't leaving alone, feel like I could be outer-space
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money but I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good, we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time
Temptation (is calling your name)
Sweet persuasion, oh (baby this is a game)
Come closer baby (if you like what you hear)
Impassioned (is what I'm making you feel)
Cause' I ain't leaving alone, I feel like I could be outer-space
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money but I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good, we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time
Waste my time
No no no
I ain't judging if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
What?
More power to you if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
Let me dig that out like a foxhole
Damn baby, dat ass is colossal
Pilates and milk did that body so good
You got in them pants? I wish I could
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me? (oh, well, well)
You look good, and we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time (oh no)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three (Agree?, Yeah)
Indeed you look, and we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time
Or waste your time, or waste your time
Or waste our time, baby it's alright
Baby it's alright, baby it's alright yeah
Oh it's alright now
Alright
Oh yeah, I don't wanna waste my time,
No
I don't wanna waste no time,
Oh no
I don't wanna waste your time, babe
I don't wanna waste our time,
Oh my time, Oh whoa, now
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Oh yeah you look good, and I got money but I don't wanna waste my time (Go with me baby)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three (Yeah it's just a short drive home for me ma')
You look good, we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time
Waste my time
No no no I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
Let's go, shit we only live once right?
I mean, where's the fun in forever anyway?
The song "How Many Drinks?" by Miguel featuring Kendrick Lamar is a track about a man attempting to woo a woman into leaving with him. The lyrics are set in a club where the man is becoming increasingly attracted to the woman and is trying to convince her to come back to his place. The first verse sees the man observing the woman dancing and hints at his want to be intimate with her. The chorus is a question posed to the woman, asking how many drinks it would take for her to go home with him. The second verse continues with the man trying to tempt the woman, using persuasion and some smooth talk.
Kendrick Lamar's rap verse follows and acts as a contrasting voice to the rest of the song. He begins by highlighting that he isn't judging the woman if she decides to sleep with the man by saying, "More power to you if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight". Lamar includes several expletives in his verse, which acts as a shock factor compared to the relatively clean lyrics before his feature. The song concludes with the man trying to convince the woman that they only live once and that they should have fun instead of being forever alone.
