[Verse 1]

Said I wouldn't call ya

Said I wouldn't need ya

So I went and bought me some Tequila amnesia

Said I wouldn't sweat ya

Swore that I'd forget ya

No fuckin' up my good time, I said I'd never let ya


[Pre-Chorus]

No FaceTimin', no drunk dialin', no crawling back in my bed

No late night, no candelights, tryna get you outta that dress

No slow jam, no holding hands, man, all that shit is dead

Yeah, that's everything that I said


[Chorus]

And that was five drinks ago, five drinks ago

When you were just somebody that I used to know

When I was thinking sober, we were good and over

Said I wouldn't think about you

That was five drinks ago, five drinks ago, yeah

They shoulda cut me off, they shoulda took my phone

'Causе I'm thinkin' 'bout textin' some alcohol confessions

And еverything I said I wouldn't do

That was five drinks ago

That was five, that was five

That was five drinks ago

That was five, uh, yeah


[Verse 2]

Ran into your mama, told me I should call ya

Told her, "Hey, don't bother, I'm done messin' with your daughter"

'Cause I don't need no drama (Yeah)

Period, no comma, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]

No FaceTimin', no drunk dialin', no slidin' in yo' DMs

No late night, no candelights, no sharing mutual friends

No slow jam, no holding hands, man, all that shit is dead

Yeah, that's everything that I said


[Chorus]

And that was five drinks ago, five drinks ago

When you were just somebody that I used to know

When I was thinking sober, we were good and over

Said I wouldn't think about you

That was five drinks ago, five drinks ago, yeah

They shoulda cut me off, they shoulda took my phone

'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout textin' some alcohol confessions

And everything I said I wouldn't do

That was five drinks ago

That was five, that was five

That was five drinks ago

That was five


[Bridge]

I probably would've left that past alone, oh

If I would've kept my ass at home


[Chorus]

And that was five drinks ago, five drinks ago

When you were just somebody that I used to know

When I was thinking sober, we were good and over

Said I wouldn't think about you

That was five drinks ago, five drinks ago, yeah

They shoulda cut me off, they shoulda took my phone

'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout textin' some alcohol confessions

And everything I said I wouldn't do

That was five drinks ago

That was five, that was five

That was five drinks ago

That was five


[Outro]

No FaceTimin', no drunk dialin', no crawling back in my bed

No late nights, no candelights, tryna get you outta that dress

(Uh, everybody in here, next round on me)

No slow jam, no holding hands, man, all that shit is dead

Yeah, that's everything that I said

Fuck it, somebody call me a Uber
