Hung Up on You
Lyrics
I guess it started back at sixteen
Snuck in a bar with a fake ID
You'd throw a quarter in the jukebox
I was getting loose when I slid up next to you
And the next thing that I knew, I was drunk
Kissin' in the corner of a smoky room
Me and you
I wish you were back in town, for one more round
In the same old corner, can't believe it's you
Déjà vu (déjà vu)
I can't help it, I got hung up on you
In that dive bar, bourbon and cheap perfume
Right kinda bad for me, it's too good to be true
I can't help it, I got hung up on you
I got hung up on you
Can't seem to get you outta my head
Drinkin' to forget all those nights in my bed
Man, wish I could take it back to sixteen (sixteen)
That damn jukebox, it's a memory machine
'Cause the last thing I should do, start textin' you
Baby, it's not over, only had a few
I'm missin' you (I'm missin' you)
And I wish you were back in town, for one more round
In the same old corner, do you feel it too?
Déjà vu (déjà vu)
I can't help it, I got hung up on you
In that dive bar, bourbon and cheap perfume
Right kinda bad for me, it's too good to be true
I can't help it, I got hung up on you
Whoa, oh, I got hung up on you
Whoa, oh, I got hung up on you
Whoa, oh, yeah, whoa, oh
Wish you'd pick up the phone
'Stead I'm drinkin' alone
Wish you'd come back home, oh
How long has it been?
We were just some kids
Thought it would never end, oh
Yeah, I got hung up on you
I can't help it, I got hung up on you
In that dive bar, bourbon and cheap perfume
Right kinda bad for me, it's too good to be true
I can't help it, I got hung up on you
Whoa, oh, I got hung up on you
Whoa, oh, I got hung up, I got hung up on you
Uh huh, on you
