Lyrics
I'LL DRINK TO THAT
I WATCHED HER SLITHER IN; SAT DOWN NEXT TO ME;
ORDERED UP A STINGER; SAID, "I NEED SOME COMPANY;
YOU LOOK LIKE THE KINDA' GUY WHO'D TREAT A LADY RIGHT;
AN' I REALLY NEED SOME LOVE TONIGHT".
(CHORUS):
I'LL DRINK TO THAT....HEY, I'M YOUR MAN;
GOT A LOVIN' HEART INSIDE ME, AN' I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN;
YOU GOT LOVIN' ON YOUR MIND; WELL, I'M THE LOVIN' KIND;
AN' THAT'S A FACT.....I'LL DRINK TO THAT.
HER ALMOND EYES MET MINE, AN' I COULD SEE A TRACE,
A THIN LINE A' TEARS HAD STAINED HER PRETTY FACE;
SHE TOUCHED MY HAND AN' WHISPERED, "HE TOOK HIS LOVE FROM ME;
AN' TONIGHT, I NEED SOME COMPANY".
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
THAT'S HOW IT ALL BEGAN;
I BECAME HER EVER LOVIN' MAN;
WE DANCED AN' LOVED THE NIGHT AWAY,
AND FELL IN LOVE AT LIGHT OF DAY.
(CHORUS):
LET'S DRINK TO THAT....HEY, I'M YOUR MAN;
GOT A LOVIN' HEART INSIDE ME, AN' I'll DO THE BEST I CAN;
SO MUCH LOVE IN YOUR EYES; WELL, I'M A LOVIN' KINDA' GUY;
AN' THAT'S A FACT....I'LL DRINK TO THAT;
I LOVE YOU BACK....LET'S DRINK TO THAT;
THIS LOVE WILL LAST....WE'LL DRINK TO THAT!
