I was a little outta my mind
Last night when I called you up
I'm sorry if I upset you
With all that missin' you stuff

I was just too far gone and all alone
When that phone started callin' your name
And I know it's against the rules, girl
But tequila makes me do dumb things

I was just drunk
Dialin' your number
Hopin' that you just might wanna come over
I might have said a little too much
You know I don't think before I talk
When I got a good buzz
Can't be held responsible for what I was sayin'
You know I say a lot of things
When I've been drinkin'
Yeah and I was drinkin'

Can't believe what I said
But at least I made you laugh
After all this time
Since we said goodbye
I'm glad I can still do that

Girl I was just drunk
Dialin' your number
Hopin' that you just might wanna come over
I might have said a little too much
But I don't think before I talk
When I got a good buzz
Can't be held responsible for what I was sayin'
You know I say a lot of things
When I've been drinkin'

And I can't guarantee
That there won't be
Another night

When I be drunk
Dialin' your number
Hopin' that you just might wanna come over
I might have said a little too much
But I don't think before I talk
When I got a good buzz
Can't be held responsible for what I be sayin'
You know I say a lot of things
When I've been drinkin'
Yeah I was drinkin'
