What A Buzz
Olly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The date is going well I think, well everything except.
I'm laughing like a lunatic at everything she says.
Got ketchup on my trousers and my cheeks are going red.
Tonight I drink wine with the girl I just met.

I had to think of things to do to stop my nervous hands.
The label on the bottle never really stood a chance.
The salt & pepper pots were getting well into there dance.

Tonight I went out with the girl I just met.

Tell me all about you.
(What a buzz)
Where I'd be without you.
(What a buzz)
Tell me all about you.
What a beautiful buzz with the girl I might love.

I'm staring across the table at the nicest eyes I've seen.
I said they were brown but she insisted they were green.
So I called over the waiter and he told me he agreed.
Tonight I drink wine with the girl that likes me.
(What a buzz)

Tell me all about you.
(What a buzz)
Where I'd be without you.
(What a buzz)
Tell me all about you.
What a beautiful buzz with the girl I might love.

Any time any place.
Coast to coast or out of space
You can find the two of us,
the young that drunk the love.
Tonight we drank wine.

So.
Tell me all about you.
(What a buzz)
Where I'd be without you.
(What a buzz)
Tell me all about you.
What a beautiful buzz with the girl I might love.
(What a buzz)
Tell me all about you.
(What a buzz)
Where I'd be without you.
(What a buzz)
Tell me all about you.
What a beautiful buzz with the girl I might love.

(I like this girl)
The date is going well I think, well everything except.
I'm laughing like a lunatic at everything she says.
Got ketchup on my trousers and my cheeks are going red.

Tonight I drink wine with the girl I just met.
(What a buzz)
