One Sip

One sip and you'll surrender
One taste and you will fall
My love won't hurt you in the morning
My love will never hurt at all
Just two ounces of commitment
Now shake it up and pour it tall
One sip and you'll surrender
One taste and you will fall
And high and dry Martinis
And fine vintage red wine
With a couple shots of Cabo
With a salt shake and a lick o' lime
Get your mind off that barstool
Before you spend your last dime
And that little buzz you're feeling
Will be right there every time
That's right
And one sip and you'll surrender
One taste and you will fall
My love won't hurt you in the morning
My love will never hurt at all
Take two ounces of commitment
Now shake it up and pour it tall
One sip and you'll surrender
And one taste and you will fall
Baby, one sip and you'll surrender
And one taste and you will fall, yeah
Come on baby, hey
