Jennifer Nettles With Me
Baby, There's something I've got to tell you
You're looking awfully good tonight
And if this glass has anything to do with inhibitions
I'll come right out and tee you you're a sight.
For these poor eyes, I'll cut the lies and playing hard
to get
I'll stop and pray that you will stay and I'll have no
regrets
Look in this face I'll give you grace if you haven't
understood it yet.
You don't have to go home if you will stay with me
tonight.
Now with the iron nerve of ten thousand seasoned
soldiers,
A conversation I move to strike.
But as my mouth moves to make these first advances
My breath gets caught up in mid flight
My face is red
I hang my head
I'm awe-inspired by
Your every move,
I start to swoon,
Oh God I think I'll cry.
Look in this face, please give me grace, allow me to
tell you why.
You don't have to go home if you will stay with me
tonight.
Well, I got myself a hand on the bottle
And I know just what that means cause,
Just like you it ain't easy to swallow and I fight off
all that it brings.
Well, I can lie to myself and deny it.
But that ain't nothing new to you.
Here's my story for you to analyze.
My book is open to you.
And you don't have to go home if you will stay with me
tonight.
