I Oughta Know Better

(Come on)
(Ah, yeah, let's go)

4:42, Friday afternoon
I tell you, man, I was about done
It'd been a hard week, worked off my feet
And I was ready to get back home
When my phone started buzzin'
My buddy was wonderin', what I was doin' after work

He said, "Me and the boys are down at the bar"
Well, I guess one drink won't hurt

I oughta know better
One turned into two then four
Next, we're doin' doubles on a hardwood floor
Blowing our money, making buddies with the bartender
I oughta know better
Last call and the sun come out
Stumblin' all the way back to my house
Findin' that couch, and passin' out on the leather
Yeah, I oughta know what was gonna happen when you made that call
'Cause it goes down every time we're together
I oughta know better
Yeah, I oughta know better

Me and my girl were three years steady and said
We're 'bout done with that crowd
So, let's just stay home, watch Bridget Jones and cuddle up on the couch
Well, I turned down the lights, she poured the wine
And put a glass in my hand

Man, that first sip of red went straight to my head
And we started changin' plans

I oughta know better
One turned into two then four
Next, we're doin' doubles on a hardwood floor
Blowing our money, making buddies with the bartender
I oughta know better
Last call and the sun come out
Stumblin' all the way back to my house
Findin' that couch, and passin' out on the leather
Yeah, I oughta know what was gonna happen when you made that call
'Cause it goes down every time we're together
I oughta know better
Yeah, baby

Yeah, four turns to five and five turns to seven
Next, I'm with the band singing Stairway to Heaven
Well, seven turns to eight, wait, I think it was nine
Man, this happens every God damn time

So, I oughta know better
One turned into two then four
Next, we're doin' doubles on a hardwood floor
Blowing our money, making buddies with the bartender, come on
I oughta know better
Last call and the sun come out
Stumblin' all the way back to my house
Findin' that couch, and passin' out on the leather
Yeah, I oughta know what was gonna happen when you made that call
'Cause it goes down every time we're together
I oughta know better

Yeah, man
I oughta know better
Ah, one more time
Yeah, it happens every time we're together
I oughta know better
