Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.                
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.                
I can't get up out of bed                
With this crazy feeling in my head.                
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.               
 Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.                
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.                
You hear what I say?                
Gonna love you anyway.                
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.                
I went to an all-night get together               
 And everyone I knew was there.                
Had the love that would last forever.               
 Everywhere I looked, I saw you standing there.               
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.                
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.              
 I can't get up out of bed                
With this crazy feeling in my head.                
I said get up right now, oh oh.               
 I said get up right now.                
Feel so bad this morning; got a terrible headache in my head.                
Do me a favor, baby, do me a favor please.                
Please get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.                
Get up, get up; get your man a big big bottle of red wine.
