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
