We met under unusual circumstances, it wasn’t one of those online set-up romances I wasn’t looking to start anything up. I was just at that bar to.. you know... get drunk. I was still reboundin’ and couldn’t take any chances But talkin’ to you, it seemed like we had met before, even though neither of us were sure You told me that you were usually kinda quiet, that you didn't get out often, and we kept laughin’ and talkin’ You were makin’ that last drink last longer than the ice I was tryin real hard to control my Tennessee whisky vice I was drinkin’ my jack and coke kinda slow Next thing we both know, it was time to go This ain’t no rendezvous Yet This ain’t no holdin you Yet This ain’t no can’t wait to see you Not yet This is more like "here’s my number" So... please text Yeah... please text I know you’re still pining for your ex I get the feeling my best shot is next best But next best is better than bein’ alone So pick up that phone You may find out I’m a whole lot better than just the next best… Have you come back to this bar? I will ask the bartender, if he says he ain't seen you I'll probably go on a bender I've been checkin' my phone like a freak all week. Damn I sure am weak. When it comes to thinkin' about you and that talk we were havin' ... with that cute snorting' and laughin' You told me that you were usually kinda quiet, but what I would give right now for that kinda quiet, Did you give me your number? I can't find it. All I know is that.... You were makin’ that last drink last longer than the ice I was tryin real hard to control my Tennessee whisky vice You sounded in denial that your relationship ended “His loss”, I said, as the place became emptied This ain’t gonna a be no rendezvous Yet This ain’t gonna be no holdin you Yet This ain’t no can’t wait to see you Not yet This is more like "here’s my number" So... please text please text please text I know you’re still aching for your ex I ain't gonna settle for bein' next best But next best is better than bein’ alone So pick up that phone You may find out I’m a whole lot better than just the next best… you may find out I’m your best next. I get the feeling I’m you’re best next So pick up that phone Why can’t you see that I’m your best next. Not some next best.
