Lyrics
When I get to drinkin'
When I start drinking alcohol
When I get to drinkin'
Repeated emphasis on the effect of alcohol consumption
Man I need to put down my phone
Expressing the need to stop using the phone while intoxicated
'Cuz I start pushin' numbers and callin' old lovers
Pressing buttons on the phone and contacting former romantic partners
Callin' women I should leave alone
Contacting women with whom it's unwise to have any further involvement
And I say "Hey, it's been a while,
Attempting to reconnect after a period of time
And I thought that I should call you just to see
Justifying the call by stating a desire to know what the other person is doing
What you're doin' tonight and if I could come by
Inquiring about the possibility of meeting up because of feelings of missing them
Cuz I've been missin' you I wonder if you're missin' me"
Expressing feelings of longing and questioning if the other person feels the same
When I get to drinkin'
Reiteration of the consequences of drinking and dialing
When I get to drinkin'
Re-emphasizing the impact of alcohol on behavior
Man I need to wrap that thing up
Suggesting the need to control or end the conversation
'Cuz I start flirtin' with ladies I don't need no more babies
Engaging in flirtatious behavior with women, risking unwanted consequences
And I can't afford to knock another up
Fearing the possibility of causing another unplanned pregnancy
And I say "Hey, it's been a while,
Similar phrasing to previous attempts to reconnect
And I thought that I should call you just to see
Repeating the justification for the call
What you're doin' tonight and if I could come by
Asking about the other person's plans and expressing a desire to meet
Cuz I've been missin' you I wonder if youre missin' me
Reiterating feelings of longing and questioning the other person's feelings
Cuz I've been missin' you I wonder if youre missin' me
Repeating doubts and feelings of missing the other person
Yeah I've been missin' you
Continued expression of missing the person
Missin' you
Repetition for emphasis on missing the person
Missin' you
Continued emphasis on missing the person
Missin' you
-I wonder if you're missin' me
Speculating if the other person is missing them in return
