Red Wine Lyrics

[Chorus]
Why don't you
Come over and drink a glass of red wine?
Why don't you
Come over and get to know me?
Why don't you come sit in the candlelight?
I know you got things to show me
Why don't you come drink a glass of red wine?
I'll show you things of mine

[Verse 1]
I have a dinner invitation for two
All included me and you
A bit of porch, summer afternoon
We'll be enjoying wine and stars soon
Night sky, I'm nice, high high
Good company, such a fly vibe
It's you, the weed, the wine, and me
Aren't you glad you came over this evening?

[Chorus]
Why don't you
Come over and drink a glass of red wine?
Why don't you (why don't you)
Come over and get to know me?
Why don't you come sit in the candlelight?
I know you got things to show me
Why don't you come drink a glass of red wine?
I'll show you things of mine
[Verse 2]
I let the wine drop into your glass
You feel that warm sensation in your face
You wanna feel, you wanna laugh
It will all be over so fast
I ask "shall we", she says "maybe"
Turn my back, and she says "take me"
She truly is one remarkable lady
I wonder of what is she created

[Chorus]
Why don't you
Come over and drink a glass of red wine?
Why don't you (why don't you)
Come over and get to know me?
Why don't you come sit in the candlelight?
I know you got things to show me
Why don't you come drink a glass of red wine?
I'll show you things of mine

[Verse 3]
I follow you, your glass, and your ass
Into the room so fast
I grab the bottle, and we snuggle
Strip each other at last
Steaming hot, believe it or not
We both gave it all we got
And when we're done, we'll smoke another one, drink some more
Then an encore and an encore, encore
[Chorus]
Why don't you
Come over and drink a glass of red wine?
Why don't you (why don't you)
Come over and get to know me?
Why don't you come sit in the candlelight?
I know you got things to show me
Why don't you come drink a glass of red wine?
I'll show you things of mine

What did Lukas Graham say about "Red Wine"?
Genius Answer

Lukas Graham on the song:

Min ven Morten var meget forarget over, at jeg ikke drak rødvin. Så før jeg drog seks måneder til Argentina, inviterede han mig over på culottesteg. Da jeg sad dernede i Buenos Aires, satte jeg pris på de billige flasker god rødvin. Sangen er skrevet på et hotelværelse, mens mine to besøgende veninder var faldet i søvn. Med ryggen mod sengegærdet.
