Summer stars hangin' like string lights
Band in the corner playin' all night
I caught your glance from across the bar
You smiled and asked what I'm drinkin', darlin'
Two tequila shots lined up between us
Your eyes flickered with dangerous trust
I said, "I might try mine a little later"
As the jukebox played a little bit louder

Tequila tastes better off you
Salt on your skin, burning me through
Lemon's got nothing on your sweet move
Baby, tequila tastes better off you
One sip, one kiss, one little dare
Got me drunk on somethin' beyond compare

Fingers brushed as we reached for the same glass
Your laugh sent shivers right down my back
Somehow that shot spilled right on your hand
What a shame to waste it, what a perfect plan
One brave moment, I leaned in closer
Took your wrist and stole what was left there
Your smile told me you knew the game
And honey, neither one of us played it safe

It ain't the tequila gone to my head
It's the words you whispered that you ain't said
The music's fadin', the world's spinnin' slow
Just you and me now, nowhere to go

Tequila tastes better off you
Salt on your skin, burning me through
Lemon's got nothing on your sweet move
Baby, tequila tastes better off you
One sip, one kiss, one little dare
Got me drunk on somethin' beyond compare

The night's still young, and so's this feeling
Two more shots, but it's you I'm needin'
Tequila tastes better... off you
