[Verse 1] He slid up easy like he owned the night Neon glow and a crooked smile Leanin’ on that rail, cool as sin Like he already knew he’d get under my skin Everybody talks, yeah, I’ve heard the tales A trail of broken hearts and barroom trails So I crossed my arms and raised one brow Figured I’d have a little fun with him now [Pre-Chorus] He said, “Can I buy you a drink?” I said, “Boy, what makes you think?” [Chorus] Bet you won’t make me laugh Bet you won’t make this last Bet you won’t get me stayin’ longer than I planned Bet you won’t change my mind Bet you won’t waste my time Bet you won’t be the one thing I can’t leave behind You can flash that smile You can pour that crown You can try your luck all night long downtown But I know your kind At least I think I do Bet you won’t… Bet you won’t… [Verse 2] One song turned into three or four Somehow we weren’t strangers anymore He had me tellin’ stories I swore I’d keep Locked away where they don’t run deep And every time I thought I’d found the line He’d say somethin’ funny and I’d lose my mind Lord, I hated how easy it felt To forget every warning I’d told myself [Pre-Chorus] He said, “You’re tougher than you look.” I said, “Boy, don’t push your luck.” [Chorus] Bet you won’t make me laugh Bet you won’t make this last Bet you won’t get me stayin’ longer than I planned Bet you won’t change my mind Bet you won’t waste my time Bet you won’t be the one thing I can’t leave behind You can flash that smile You can pour that crown You can try your luck all night long downtown But I know your kind At least I think I do Bet you won’t… Bet you won’t… [Bridge] Then he brushed a strand of hair from my face And for a second all the noise faded away That’s when I knew I was in trouble Not because of him Because I wanted him to prove me wrong [Final Chorus] Bet you won’t be different Bet you won’t be real Bet you won’t be somebody worth the way I feel Bet you won’t call tomorrow Bet you won’t come through Bet you won’t become the story I keep runnin’ back to You can flash that smile You can pour that crown The band’s still rockin’ on that rooftop downtown And somewhere between The first hello and two a.m. I stopped bettin’ against you [Outro] Yeah… I stopped bettin’ against you.
