Lady A
Told You I Could Drink
[Verse 1: BRELAND]
Bought a drink for you back on the night that I met you, mm
Popped some cheap champagne when the first ball dropped, mm
Couple shots when I first said I think that I love you, oh
And you musta had a couple when you said "get lost," yeah
[Pre-Chorus: BRELAND]
Now that it's over
Did you think I'd be sober?
It may sound harsh, but I've always been this way
[Chorus: BRELAND]
Told you I could drink
Told you I'd be fine
Told you I would move on if you left me behind
'Cause you pushed me to the brink
And I don't got no time
To sit around and wait for you to make up your mind
I'll drink you under the table, outta my head
Over the memories of you in my bed
And honestly, just what else did you think
When I told you I could drink?
[Verse 2: Charles Kelley]
Oh yeah
Got around with the boys when they heard I was solo, yeah
A double shot and some Coke in a Solo cup
Oh, ain't a bar in this town that I found that I won't go
Well, you could take the high road, but it don't hold up
[Chorus: Charles Kelley, BRELAND, Hillary Scott]
Yeah, I told you I could drink
Told you I'd be fine
I told you I would move on if you left me behind
'Cause you pushed me to the brink
And I don't got no time
To sit around and wait for you to make up your mind
I'll drink you under the table, outta my head
Over the memories of you in my bed
And honestly, just what else did you think
When I told you I could drink?
[Post-Chorus: Charles Kelley]
Oh, I told you I could drink
[Bridge: BRELAND, Charles Kelley]
Now that it's over (Now that it's over)
Did you think I'd be sober? (Mm)
It may sound harsh, but I've always been this way
[Chorus: Charles Kelley, BRELAND, Hillary Scott]
I told you I could drink
I told you I'd be fine
I told you I would move on if you left me behind
'Cause you pushed me to the brink (Oh-ho)
And I don't got no time
To sit around and wait for you to make up your mind
I'll drink you under the table, outta my head
Over the memories of you in my bed
And honestly, just what else did you think
When I told you I could drink?
[Outro: Charles Kelley, BRELAND, Hillary Scott]
I thought I told you I could drink (I thought I told you)
When I told you I could drink (Woo)
Oh, I told you I could drink (Oh)
No, no
