Lyrics

The Shots I Don't Take

I'm great at takin' shots of this Mexican tequila
Here sittin' at the bar next to a pretty señorita
But I won't take the shot to even say “hello” and meet her
Worried that she'll turn me down
Guess there's only one way to find out…yeah..

I'm gonna roll the dice, flip a coin
It’s 50/50 any time a girl meets a boy (woah oah)
Might work out, maybe not
I'm throwin' caution back into the wind
'Cause I'll always miss 100%
Of the shots I don't take
The shots I don't take….yeah

Trippin' on my tongue, but now we're deep in conversation
Won't let her pretty hazel eyes break my concentration
I ask her for her number, she just smiles and says “maybe”
Gives me a wink and walks away
Now, it's time for me to get in the game…yeah...

I'm gonna roll the dice, flip a coin
It’s 50/50 any time a girl meets a boy (woah oah)
Try again, yeah, why not?
'Cause I may never see her again
And I'll always miss 100%
Of the shots I don't take (yeah.., yeah..)
The shots I don't take (yeah.., yeah..)

Here I go, I'm on my feet
Gonna get to her before she leaves
‘Cause a chance like this may not come around again…yeah..

I'm gonna roll the dice, flip a coin
It’s 50/50 any time a girl meets a boy
Might work out, maybe not
I'm throwin' caution back into the wind
Yeah, I'll always miss 100%
Of the shots I don't take (yeah.., yeah..)
The shots I don't take (yeah.., yeah..)
The shots I don't take (yeah.., yeah..)
The shots I don't take
