[Verse 1]

Mascara running down your cheek

I'm thinking, “Oh baby now who is she?”

You got a couple more drinks on the band's bar tab

You're way to pretty to look so sad

I'm down here on a three-day run

And I gave up looking for anyone

But it feels right to a do a little wrong right now, baby


[Chorus]

'Cause now turns to later

Later turns to 'morrow

Don't think too hard about it

Just follow me and take my hand

What's the worst thing that could happen?

But be a one life stand


[Verse 2]

Such a vision, dressed up in white

We got a pretty good crowd for a Saturday night

And the bar is open 'til we cut 'em off

And everybody's hollering “Mazel tov”

I gave up looking and I found you

And now it's something borrowed and something blue

So, get on up here and say “I do” right now, baby


[Chorus]

'Cause now turns to later

Later turns to 'morrow

Don't think too hard about it

Just follow me and take my hand

What's the worst thing that could happen?


[Chorus]

Drinks in the evening turns to coffee in the morning

A little bit of flirting, found someone worth adoring

And a ring on my left hand

What's the worst thing that could happen?

But being a one life stand
