[Verse 1]
Drink up, baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do, you won't but you might

[Chorus]
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will

I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
[Chorus]
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
