Your breath is a hot mess of fresh fruit and funk
Your tongue is a canvas of reds, greens, and blues
I’ll be your waiter for the day
Just look at me and say
“Bring mama her booze”
I like you better when you’re drunk

There’s orange peels and lemon juice covering the floor
There’s an empty bottle of bitters, and you’re cursing for more
You’re fighting back real tears
‘Cause you miss “The Wonder Years”

You dust off your love, after pullin’ it from the trunk
I like you better when you’re drunk

I think it’s safe to say
I love you more this way
You come out to play
It doesn’t happen every day

The blender doesn’t feel your wrath
For giving you a bath
You forgot the top
Yet you’re giggling while you mop

I like you better when you’re drunk

When you’ve had mass drinks
We don’t suffer long-term jinx

You laugh, then say, “Your jokes are funny”
Instead of yell, “Most men make more money”

Instead of giving me loads of crap
You’re demanding that I dance
It’s your first time on my lap
Since I wore Parachute Pants

You kiss me for no reason
In “us” I am believin’

You dust off your love, after pullin’ it from the trunk
I like you better when you’re drunk

When you wake up sober
This dream will all be over
I’ll let you call the shots while wishing I was stronger
When your body’s out of Coors
You’ll ask to see my list of chores
Then say, “This should be longer”
I’ll get mad
You’ll roll your eyes
I’ll wonder when it got so bad
I’m dreading tomorrow morning
It seems to come without a warning
So please don’t take this question wrong
And all that it implies
I know it’s longer than you planned
But will you keep a drink in hand
Until I’m finished with this song?

I like you better when you’re drunk
