I bought two beers 'cause I thought I saw a smile
A shot with a redhead that looked a little wild
Refilled a wine glass, a-swinging and a-missing
A boyfriend said no, took to double-fisting
Until last call with that blonde who would listen
Didn't care who was watching that cab ride kissing
On the way to my daydream come true, then
I forgot what I did to forget about you
Poured three fingers just to have some company
More swigging, remembering how we used to be
Empty bottle convinced me to find someone new
Then I forgot what I did to forget about you
Eyes slammed open like I just quit a nightmare
Rolled over anticipating your long brown hair
But it was blonde, she was laying on your side
Those two A.M. caresses that felt so right
She was the wrong girl, just there at the right time
The first night I laid my head down without cryin'
I believed that we were really through, then
I forgot what I did to forget about you
Poured three fingers just to have some company
More swigging, remembering how we used to be
Empty bottle convinced me to find someone new
Then I forgot what I did to forget about you
I begged you to keep a key so you could change your mind
Heard the door open and I couldn't even try to hide
I found company sitting on a barstool, then
I forgot what I did to forget about you
Forgot what I did to forget about you
Poured three fingers just to have some company
More swigging, remembering how we used to be
Empty bottle convinced me to find someone new
Oh, I forgot what I did to forget about you
Oh yeah, I forgot what I did to forget
Forget about you, yeah
