Lyrics

[Intro]
Come on
Let's go
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
He said, "Me and the boys are down at the bar"
Well, I guess one drink won't hurt
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
Man, that first sip of red went straight to my head
And we started changin' plans
[Chorus]
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, man
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Yeah, man
I oughta know better
Oh, one more time
Yeah, it happens every time we're together
I oughta know better
