Aw Naw
Chris Young · Other Songs - Chris Young
I just had that one drink
And we've all gotta be up early
Boys, we oughta shut her down
Just take it to the house
Before anybody starts getting crazy
So I started walking across the floor
Before I got to the door,
Aw naw
Somebody just bought
A shot of Patron, hang on
I just might have to stay
Aw naw
Look at the time y'all
What happened to coats on, long gone,
I should be halfway home
But aw naw
Yeah, girl I saw you come in
With all of your girlfriends
Just cuttin' up and shooting Bacardi
Yeah, I got my boys with me
But we're just blowin' off steam
Not lookin' to pick up anybody
So I was gonna walk on by
You turned around and we locked eyes
Aw naw
Did you hear that song,
Oh the one that just came on
Come on, DJ, what you trying to do?
Aw naw
It would be so wrong
If we didn't dance one
Show off those jeans you painted on
Aw naw
Aw naw
No, I didn't mean to be here this long
I tried to leave so it ain't my fault.
No I didn't mean to be holding you
But tell me what was I supposed to do?
Aw naw
Somebody just bought
A shot of that Patron, hang on
We've been here all night long
Aw naw
It would be so wrong
If we didn't dance one more song
Show off those jeans you painted on
Aw naw
Yeah, aw naw
Those jeans you painted on
Aw naw
Aw Naw
