Baby, if you see me tonight
Don't say hi
Walk on by
I, I am one year sober from your lips, oh, yeah
At the Mondrian hotel in California
The temptation called me, I couldn't say no
So I let you hold my heart once more
We made sweet lovin' (Oh)
Then I climbed out of bed, left a kiss on your neck, let you sleep alone
Oh, let you sleep alone, oh
So sweet, mean lovin'
I shut the door, took the wine and I drank and I cried 'til I let you go
So, baby, if you see me tonight
Don't say hi
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it)
Walk on by
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, no, no)
Oh, baby, if you see me tonight
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it)
Don't say hi
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it)
Walk on by
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, no, no)
By (Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, no, no)
Yeah, mmm
Tried to picture me tipsy in the cab home, yeah
On the Sunset Strippin' skies of California, uh
As the tears rolled down and fall onto my phone
Saw a text from you sayin', "Where did you go?"
We made sweet lovin' (Oh)
Then I climbed out of bed, left a kiss on your neck, let you sleep alone
Oh, let you sleep alone, oh
So sweet, mean lovin'
I shut the door, took the wine and I drank and I cried 'til I let you go
So, baby, if you see me tonight
Don't say hi
Don't you dare look in my eyes (Don't, don't, don't, don't do it)
Walk on by, no, no, no (Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, no, no)
Oh, baby, if you see me tonight
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it)
Don't say hi
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it)
Walk on by
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, no, no)
(Don't, don't, don't, don't do it, no, no)
Don't you dare leave
Stop the piece I found without you, baby
Don't say hi
Walk on by
Bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye
Oh, if you see me tonight, if you see me tonight
No, don't, don't, don't, don't come find me
Don't, don't, don't, don't try me
Don't you dare sip your wine, baby, bottle it up
If you see me tonight, I want cold as ice
No, don't, don't, don't, don't come find me
I can't let you remind me
Baby, if you see me tonight
Don't say hi
Walk on by
Oh, baby, if you see me tonight
Don't say hi
Walk on by
You better, no, you better (So, baby, if you see me tonight)
Don't say hi
Walk on by
Oh, baby, if you see me tonight (No, no, no, no, no)
Don't say hi to me
Walk on, pass by me, baby
Oh, if you see me tonight, if you see me tonight
No, don't, don't, don't, don't come find me
Don't, don't, don't, don't try me
Don't you dare sip your wine, baby, bottle it up
If you see me tonight, I want cold as ice
No, don't, don't, don't, don't come find me
I can't let you remind me
