Tequila Does Lyrics

[Verse 1]
His last name was Flores
He came up from Juárez
Lookin' for a hell of a time
With a blonde señorita
And a tall margarita
We danced on the tables all night
Then I said, "Adiós
Casamigos is taking me home tonight"

[Chorus]
’Cause he don't love me like tequila does
Nobody can
He don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does

[Verse 2]
I’d sure like to find
A cowboy tonight
To get me back in the saddle
But the boys around here
Drink domestic beer
They're all hat, no cattle
But I won't sleep alone
'Cause my old pal Patrón
Is taking me home tonight
[Chorus]
They don't love me like tequila does
Nobody can
They don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does

[Verse 3]
Well, I might as well face it
I'm always chasin'
A kiss with a twist of a lime
When I’m drinking doubles
I’m nothing but trouble
And trouble's so easy to find
Hand me a sombrero
’Cause Jose Cuervo
Is taking me home tonight

[Chorus]
No, they don't love me like tequila does
Nobody can
They don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does
No, they don't love me like tequila does
Nobody can
They don’t give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does
They don't give me that border town buzz
Like tequila does

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

One of Lambert’s most musically complex songs, “Tequila Does” combines elements of a two-step and a waltz, musically suggesting the narrator is inebriated. It namechecks the tequila brands Casamigos, Patrón, and Jose Cuervo, treating them as dear but dangerous friends.
