How Many Drinks? Lyrics

[Bridge]
'Cause I ain't leaving you alone
Feel like I could be honest babe
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know

[Hook]
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money
But I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good; we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time, waste my time

[Verse 3: Miguel]
No-no-no. I ain't judging
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
What? More power to you
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight

Le-le-let me dig that out like a fossil
Damn baby, that ass is colossal
Pilates and milk did that body so good
You got in them pants? I wish I could
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me? (oh, well...)
You look good, and we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time
(oh no)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
Agree? Indeed

You look good, and we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time

[Outro: Miguel]
Let's go, shit we only live once right?
I mean, where's the fun in forever anyway?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Though this track appeared on Miguel’s sophomore album, the drunken love ode was actually recorded several years earlier while Miguel was working on his debut LP All I Want Is You.

During an annotation session with Genius, Miguel explained how he and producer Salaam Remi came up with the track.

Once Salaam and I had done “All I Want is You,” the song, we kept working. “How Many Drinks?” is one of those songs that we never finished that I just kinda freestyled.

So when we came back for the Kaleidoscope Dream sessions to work, he pulled it right up and he was like, “I just think this idea was fire, we should finish it.”
