Ain't no rain as cold as the look she just gave him
Everyone around us knows a storm has just rolled in
I'll call for the check now baby, you go get the car
They'll stay here and fight it out, yeah they'll close down this bar

We'll go home and lay down safe in the arms of love
And we'll dance all night long on the edge of can't get enough
And we'll wake up in the morning like we always do
Drunk on the beautiful truth
We got love a hundred proof

She's gonna tell me that he can't help but get messed up
And he's gonna hang on you and say this night's just getting fun
They'll order another round now and try to make us stay
But you gotta know when to say when it's time to walk away

We'll go home and lay down safe in the arms of love
And we'll dance all night long on the edge of can't get enough
And we'll wake up in the morning like we always do
Drunk on the beautiful truth

Yes baby, I'm addicted to your touch
I'm still hung over from the last time we made love like this
Ain't in no shot glass, no bottle baby, no

We'll go home and lay down safe in the arms of love
We'll dance all night long on the edge of can't get enough
And we'll wake up in the morning like we always do
Drunk on the beautiful truth
So drunk on the beautiful truth
'Cause we got love a hundred proof
