I’d Probably Do It Again

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met a girl at the beach It was underneath a blazing sun Just like usual I was looking for a little fun I was sitting and chilling out And listening to the breaking waves That's when the day really started to change [Hook 1] Rising out of the sea like Excalibur's sword All the men they're staring and the women they scorn A glorious vision, the seventh deadly sin Tall, tanned and lovely like songs from Jobim [Verse 3] I started to gather my one thousand things The sand's in my shoes and my skins' been burning It's very different where I'm from So it's hard to be like a true beach bum I just get dizzy in the midday sun [Hook 2] She seems to dance around, she's born for this place Always next to her she keeps the same old battered books Sometimes right over her face A beautiful full moon party She lives in the light of day And is she reading 'A Picture of Dorian Gray'? Okay [Verse 4] She's a towering inferno of restless energy But she's as patient as students of ornithology She seems to wait for nothing but the close of the day Then all of a sudden, just like I had prayed I see her start to look my way I'm as self-conscious and nervous as a first-time virgin drug smuggler I'm doing my best to keep my eyes from constantly being obvious and staring at her I play with my phone, start texting a mate I hope they call back, that sucks 'Cause I'm here, she's hot, and it's great [Verse 5] I take a little walk, over to the bar on the beach The other English guys are as burnt as me I order a beer 'cause I'm feeling real thirsty I know it should be water 'cause this'll dehydrate me [Hook 3] To my surprise as I am sitting here She sits right down right next to me and orders a beer She speaks just like a native girl, she's humming a song I'm resisting every tempting moment where I'm thinking I can just sing right along Singing along [Verse 6] And now I can't believe it But she asked me where I'm from Her accent is thick I definitely wasn't wrong I tell her I'm from London And she seems impressed We start joking about the cold The wind, the rain and the fog Well all I try and do is stop staring at her chest [Hook 4] She'd love to move away and pursue her career She studied at the University over here She said she had some trouble getting hold of a visa I said I would marry her, seemed to please her [Verse 7] It was all going well so I ordered some shots (shots) It went straight to my head 'cause I was tired and hot (hot) This girl she had no problem with all of the tequila I was just so shamelessly trying to feed her [Hook 5] I knew I was mangled when I tried to stand I had double vision and the room span She grabbed my arm to keep me steady And she asked me in that cute voice "Are you feeling horny?" [Verse 8] We were staggering up the four flights of stairs together I began to imagine me ensuing pleasure As we entered the room she began to undress She seductively asked me to turn around quickly to increase the suspense [Hook 6] Closing my eyes was like entering a vortex Was I even going to manage to get through the sex And so before it even all began She battered me over the head with the bedside lamp [Verse 9] I awoke the next morning And I was feeling like crap All that was left was the shirt on my back She must have spiked my drink I could feel it in my throat On the side of the table she'd left me a note Thanks for last night, I don't need a visa Why would I move, life is just easier [Outro] There's no moral in this tale Which I guess is a shame Cause the truth be told I'd probably do it again I'd probably do it again
