A native of Akron, Ohio, Teddy grew up loving the outdoors. He fished, hiked, and played football through college at Kent State. It was during college when his passion turned to music the moment he heard George Strait’s “Troubadour”. That was it, the decision was made. He called his parents, packed his bags and hit the road. Teddy spent time in Vail playing music to support his snowboarding habit before making the final move to Nashville.
Teddy co-wrote his debut track “Lead Me On” with Ryan Beaver, Matt McGinn and Aaron Eshuis and it was produced by Shane McAnally, Matt McGinn, and Ben Fowler.
142. Really Shouldn't Drink Around You
Teddy Robb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey let's be honest
There ain't really no such thing
As gin and platonic
Hey, one is gonna turn into
Two is gonna turn into
You and me at a quarter to three
With four shoes under the bed
I really shouldn't drink around you
It's a risk, it's a gamble
A little more than I can handle
Just a touch of a buzz is
Enough to get me thinkin' things
I really shouldn't think about you
We end up on a fast track
Gettin' back to where we left the past at
You think I would'a learned
My lesson by now, But I never do
I really shouldn't drink around you
(I shouldn't drink around you
Really shouldn't drink around you)
Yeah, I know what's gonna happen
If we order another shot
There ain't any way to muster up
The strength that I haven't got
Well, wine is gonna turn into, "Why not?"
And turning the lights off
Blurring the lines and in no time
We're doin' things that friends don't do
I really shouldn't drink around you
It's a risk, it's a gamble
A little more than I can handle
Just a touch of a buzz is
Enough to get me thinkin' things
I really shouldn't think about you
We end up on a fast track
Gettin' back to where we left the past at
You think I would'a learned
My lesson by now, But I never do
I really shouldn't drink around you
(I shouldn't drink around you
Really shouldn't drink around you)
I really shouldn't drink around you
It's a risk, it's a gamble
A little more than I can handle
Just a touch of a buzz is
Enough to get me thinkin' things
I really shouldn't think about you
We end up on a fast track
Gettin' back to where we left the past at
You think I would'a learned
My lesson by now, But I never do
I really shouldn't drink around you, oh yeah
I really shouldn't drink around you
You say that we can be friends, but
Hey let's be honest
There ain't really no such thing
As gin and platonic
I really shouldn't drink around you
It's a risk, it's a gamble
A little more than I can handle
Just a touch of a buzz is
Enough to get me thinkin' things
I really shouldn't think about you
We end up on a fast track
Gettin' back to where we left the past at
You think I would'a learned
My lesson by now, But I never do
I really shouldn't drink around you
(I shouldn't drink around you
Really shouldn't drink around you)
I really shouldn't drink around you

In Teddy Robb's song "489. Really Shouldn't Drink Around You," the lyrics explore the complicated dynamics of a friendship that has a romantic undertone. The song captures the struggle of trying to maintain a platonic relationship with someone you have feelings for, especially in the context of alcohol. The singer acknowledges that even though they both claim to be friends, there is a strong attraction between them that cannot be ignored.
The lyrics emphasize the consequences of drinking around this person, as alcohol tends to intensify emotions and blur boundaries. The line "A little more than I can handle" suggests that the singer knows that indulging in alcohol will only lead to complications and potential regret. Despite their best intentions, the singer admits that a simple drink together will most likely turn into a night of passion, symbolized by "two is gonna turn into you and me at a quarter to three with four shoes under the bed." This imagery implies that their friendship will inevitably cross the line into a romantic and physical relationship.
The repeated refrain, "I really shouldn't drink around you," serves as a mantra for the singer's internal struggle to resist temptation. They are aware of the risks involved, the potential harm to their friendship, and the repetition of this line signifies their attempt to convince themselves to act responsibly. However, it becomes evident that the singer always succumbs to their desires, as they admit, "You think I would'a learned my lesson by now, but I never do." This admission implies that despite the consequences, they are unable to resist the allure of their feelings and the intoxicating effect of being in close proximity to this person.
Overall, "489. Really Shouldn't Drink Around You" explores the complexity of navigating the boundaries between friendship and romance, highlighting the difficulties of trying to suppress emotions when the desire is palpable.

@@jodinsan What's going to happen if there may be punishment for 1 to Maybe 5 officers I highly doubt it's gonna get as high as 5.. Sounds like they're focusing on the one.
Here's how the court system will go they'll spend a little while back-and-forth, it'll be all over the media on how the particular officers are held accountable accountable. It will be public and all of that. After about a year later they will file an appeal get the sentencing dropped Down. Will probably get the judge to say something like, after probation if they haven't caused any more issues that the crime will be expunged and dismissed or after probation they can pay like $2000 get it expunged for most crimes.
I've literally seen pedophiles get their record expunged however it does depend on the judge you're seeing as the judge decides whether or not you get awarded your expongement.
That's how it goes if you look at high profile cases look at them a few years down-the-line. See when they got their appeal approved for sentencing to be dropped or even just be on house arrest and then probation or just have probation... It's quite disturbing many of them don't go as far as actually seeking expongement tho if the court doesn't just award it. usually because high profile cases those kind of people are already high up enough in their career that it doesn't matter if they have a little something on their record Because people call them in for interviews to go over their resumes. Then of course they get to talk away they are crimes.
What I find the most awful is they'll do that kind of s*** with high profile cases pedophiles, rapist, cops that don't do their f**** job, when they're armed to the teeth, but someone like snowden or the other guy that phil spoke not too long ago about, would be found as treason and are sentenced to over life in prison.. All for releasing the treacherous acts that our own country does and revealing it to the public to hold our government accountable .
@justifydwarrior
This really is true.
If we look at the other side it has some logic to it.
On the plane they say "put your own mask on, before helping anyone else with theirs." Because if you pass out, you can't help anyone.
However, there's clearly a limit to self preservation when you are a peace officer surrounded by backup.
What's really striking is how many showed up & few showed any leadership.
Everyone seemed to look at someone else for permission, nobody assumed tactical command.
I am reminded of the boyscout troop who saved ppl on that derailed train.
They immediately took tactical command without thinking twice. That's how peace officers should act in an emergency situation.
They took an oath to do so, even off duty.
@Acidfunkish
I live in a part of Canada in which even most houses don't have AC. I've never lived in a home with AC. We usually get around 2 weeks of 30°C+ (86°F), annually.
Last summer, we were up to the 40s, for weeks at a time, all throughout the summer. Inside of our well-insulated homes, it would frequently be up to 46°C. People who could afford it were spending nights in hotels, because it was too hot to sleep in their own homes. My mom and I slept on a reclining couch in the basement, beside each other, because we couldn't stand to sleep in our own beds.
We have basically never had highs this high, especially not for years so close together. We'd get up to 40°C maybe once every 40 YEARS, before now?
The extreme weather is only going to get worse. It's going to keep harming and killing our most vulnerable populations. Food shortages are going to become more common. But none of this is going to harm people in positions of power. Wealthy people can continue to spend a bit more to stay comfortable, to stay well-fed. But not everyone.
If there are any local elections in your area that are likely to be won uncontested, please, please consider running (or someone you know, someone you and your friend group and/or family can help to win). There are too many willfully oblivious people making poor decisions that only serve their own interests. There is likely nothing that us - as individuals - can do to stop this, but young people in positions of power could definitely help!
I don't know what other solutions there are, for us "nobodies."

The more and more that comes out about Uvalde, the more and more I feel sick to my stomach. Those children, teachers, and families were absolutely failed that day.
@reaper1858
Nope the police did exactly what they were supposed to do. Clean up the bodies after the crime was committed. The US Supreme Court ruled again and again that unless you are arrested, jailed, or committed they have no obligation to help or save anyone. Students were not given this status after the Parkland Shooting court case even though they are mandated to be in state supervision due to attendance laws and mandatory education.

Not just that day…. they are still being failed.
@Andreamom001
I know!! There were kids still alive when they finally went in who bled to death before the hospital could save them...if the cops had gone in an hour earlier, some kids would have been saved. They would have gotten help in time.
