Buzzin'
Scotty McCreery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
July beach
Radio is crankin'
You're dancin' here with me
Friends are laughin'
Howlin' at the moon
We start sneakin'
Some like to sip, some like to chug
Some like to dip, some light one up
Everybody doin' what they gotta do
I got you
I don't need none of them vices
To put my head up in the clouds and get me flyin'
All I need is just a touch of your sweet lovin'
To get me buzzin'
Blood starts racin'
Fever pitch
The moment I start tastin'
Your intoxicating kiss
Some like to sip, some like to chug
Some like to dip, some light one up
Everybody doin' what they gotta do
I got you
I don't need none of them vices
To put my head up in the clouds and get me flyin'
All I need is just a touch of your sweet lovin'
To get me buzzin'
When the sunrise
Starts breakin' through
I won't be lookin' for no coffee
'Cause I got, I got you
I don't need none of them vices
To put my head up in the clouds and get me flyin'
All I need is just a touch of your sweet lovin'
No I don't need none of them vices
To put my head up in the clouds and get me flyin'
All I need is just a touch of your sweet lovin'
To get me buzzin'
To get me buzzin'
Some like to sip, some like to chug
Some like to dip, some light one up
Everybody doin' what they gotta do, oh girl
But I got you
