Ruff Nite Lyrics by Matt Van

2017

[Verse 1]
Baby, you've got nerve
You've got a way with words
And a way with your hips
I see what you're trying to do
As you're killing me with confidence

You've got me f***** up and my head starts spinning
And as the crowd in the bar starts thinning
I know we all can't win
But why'd you have to leave with him?
Now here I am

[Chorus]
Oh, it's only 10:45 on a Tuesday night
I'm alive
But I'm drinking to thoughts of you
Drinking to thoughts of you

Oh, I'm looking for the kind of love
That lasts beyond the walls of a hotel room
I've got a feeling tonight's gonna be a rough night
Thanks to

[Bridge]
(You, drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Oh)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)

[Verse 2]
Take two, let's try this again
Same place with a clearer head
And there she is
I know I've gotta make a move
I was born for this (born for this)

You've got me f***** up and my head starts spinning
And as the lights in the bar start dimming
She's pulling me in
Why'd you have to leave with-

Shh... (damn)

[Chorus]
Oh, it's only 10:45 on a Tuesday night (10:45 on a Tuesday)
I'm alive
And I'm singing to thoughts of you
Singing to thoughts of you (singing to thoughts of you, girl)

Oh, I'm looking for the kind of love (looking for the kind of love)
That lasts beyond the walls of a hotel room
I've got a feeling tonight's gonna be a good night
Thanks to

[Bridge]
(You, drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)

Tonight's gonna be a good night (Oh)

[Outro]
(You, drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Oh yeah)
(You, drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Oh yeah)
(You, drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
(Drinking to thoughts of you, oh, thoughts of you)
