Ooh, gonna feel this in the morning Ooh-ooh, ’cause I’m going hard tonight
So bartender, take my keys What do you want from me? Baby, I’m drunk, and I don’t wanna go home Not staying in to fight I’m staying out all night Baby, I’m drunk, and I don’t wanna go home
We don’t gotta wait until the weekend There’s always time for jumping off the deep end So don’t you wait up tonight Don’t worry, I’ll be fine Baby, I’m drunk, and I don’t wanna go home, yeah
