Lyrics
Brown Liquor (4:02)
I know I should know better
I know I should get out of this place
but when i watch you from across the room
i see you there, i know there just cant be another way
I know exactly what is good for me
and I know what i should not have
and I know your reputation
and i know that what you?ll do to me i just can?t have
You?re a tall drink of whiskey and brown liquor gets me down
and i want you to resist me but i?ll let you throw me ?round
feel that sweet intoxication i know you will consume me
probably i?ll like it so go ahead and use me
go ahead and use me
I just wanna be alone
But i like to have you near
Want you to step right in on cue
and put those big strong arms all around
?Cause you?re a tall drink of whiskey and brown liquor gets me down
and i want you to resist me but i?ll let you throw me ?round
feel that sweet intoxication i know you will consume me
probably i?ll like it so go ahead and use me go ahead and use me
Go ahead and use me use
I can only handle a shot of you
A single fromthe well
but you?re a double on the rocks
you make every day a living hell
Take me away from here
?cause i?m dying for one chance to see things clear
And you?re a tall drink of whiskey and brown liquor gets me down
and i want you to resist me but i?ll let you throw me ?round
feel that sweet intoxication i know you will consume me
probably i?ll like it so go ahead and use me
go ahead and use me, go ahead abuse me.
