I get smooth when I've been drinking
I get smooth when I've been 
I mesmerize ya
Philosophize ya
I spiritualize ya
I keep you flying
'Til the sun's a-rising
I get smooth
I get smooth
I get smooth

You get mean when you've been drinking
You get mean when you've been 
You cut me down
You criticize me
You try to ride me
You analyze me 
Undersize me
Oh, you're so cruel, girl
You rile me
You get mean
You get mean
You get mean
You get mean

I can tell by the way that you're tilting your head
Tell by the way that you're slapping your leg
Talk like your upper lip is made of lead
I love it when you shake it till you're cherry red

I get smooth when I've been drinking
I get smooth when I've been 
I take your blues
And work em' out
I gently whisper
Don't need to shout 
Don't have to push 
When I can slide
Drive so smooth girl
You need to ride it 
I get smooth
I get smooth
I get smooth
You get mean
You get mean
