Lyrics
(Verse 1)
She walked in the bar like fresh off twenty
Hoped to pick her up like a parking lot penny
Without even thinking I asked to buy her a drink
She said why not so I threw down some money
She laughed at my jokes but I knew they weren't funny
I thought I saw her give a little "Take Me Home" wink
(pre Chorus)
I settled up our tab so we could leave
When I said "Damn girl, you know how cute our kids would be?"
(Chorus)
Me and my big mouth
Never know what's gonna slip out
I reel... her in... and then... the words I say
Make her run the other way
I always say too much
I need to learn to keep it shut
Or watch it all go south
Me and my big mouth
(Verse 2)
Called up an old flame, tried to get it burning
Barely said hello and she started flirting
I could tell right away she was down for a good time
The longer she talked the more I was thinking
Of midnight kisses and candlelight drinking
She said, "Come on over, boy. Tonight you're mine."
(pre Chorus)
Hell ya, girl that's what I wanted to hear
Then I blurted out "I Love You" loud and clear
(repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
I'm afraid on the day I exchange my vows
I'll look into her eyes and her sister's name'll come out
(repeat Chorus)
