I've never been that talkative
I couldn't say hello if I wanted to
And I wanted to
It's just the introduction I
Struggle with, but I deny I'm not good for you
I'm not good for you

I'm only drinking to get me started
For you to think that I like to party
For you to think that we are interesting
For you to notice when you hear me sing
I'm only drinking to get me started
For you to think that I like to party
And from that moment, I'll be interesting
And from that moment, I would probably cling

When I'm all alone
With no place to go
I'd be thinking what I'd do
So I could be with you
If I took the chance
Had the confidence
I'd know just what to do
So I could be with you

I couldn't use a telephone
Small-talk isn't what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for

I'm only drinking to get me started
For you to think that I like to party
For you to think that we are interesting
For you to notice when you hear me sing

When I'm all alone
With no place to go
I'd be thinking what I'd do
If I could be with you
If I took the chance
Had the confidence
Oh, I'd know just what to do
So I could be with you

What makes me think
You'd care?

I'm only drinking to get me started
For you to think that I like to party
For you to think that we are interesting
For you to notice when you hear me sing

When I'm all alone
With no place to go
I'd be thinking what I'd do
So I could be with you
If I took the chance
Had the confidence
Oh, I'd know just what to do
So I could be with you

I'm only drinking to get me started (I'm only drinking)
I'm only drinking to get me started (I'm only drinking)
I'm only drinking to get me started
I'm only drinking to get me started (When I'm all alone)
I'm only drinking to get me started (With no place to go)
I'm only drinking to get me started
I'm only drinking to get me started (I'd be thinking of you)
I'm only drinking to get me, get me, get me—
