Lyrics

Get Me Started

[Verse 1]

I've never been that talkative

I couldn't say hello if I wanted to

And I wanted to

It's just the introduction I

Struggle with, but I deny I'm not good for you

I'm not good for you

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm only drinking to get me started

For you to think that I like to party

For you to think that we are interesting

For you to notice when you hear me sing

I'm only drinking to get me started

For you to think that I like to party

And from that moment, I'll be interesting

And from that moment, I would probably cling

[Chorus]

When I'm all alone

With no place to go

I'd be thinking what I'd do

So I could be with you

If I took the chance

Had the confidence

I'd know just what to do

So I could be with you

[Verse 2]

I couldn't use a telephone

Small-talk isn't what I'm looking for

What I'm looking for

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm only drinking to get me started

For you to think that I like to party

For you to think that we are interesting

For you to notice when you hear me sing

[Chorus]

When I'm all alone

With no place to go

I'd be thinking what I'd do

If I could be with you

If I took the chance

Had the confidence

Oh, I'd know just what to do

So I could be with you

[Bridge]

What makes me think

You'd care?

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm only drinking to get me started

For you to think that I like to party

For you to think that we are interesting

For you to notice when you hear me sing

[Chorus]

When I'm all alone

With no place to go

I'd be thinking what I'd do

So I could be with you

If I took the chance

Had the confidence

Oh, I'd know just what to do

So I could be with you

[Outro]

I'm only drinking to get me started (I'm only drinking)

I'm only drinking to get me started (I'm only drinking)

I'm only drinking to get me started

I'm only drinking to get me started (When I'm all alone)

I'm only drinking to get me started (With no place to go)

I'm only drinking to get me started

I'm only drinking to get me started (I'd be thinking of you)

I'm only drinking to get me, get me, get me—
