Leaves are fallin', it's September The night came in and made her shiver I told her she could have my jacket Wrapped it tight around her shoulders And I was so young 'til she kissed me Like a whiskey, like a whiskey I never knew that love was blind 'Til I was hers, but she was never mine Yeah, I was reckless But I let it burn, I let it burn, yeah The feeling, it was bittersweet Realizing I was in too deep She was a lesson I had to learn, I had to learn, yeah * I used to try to forget her But now I smile when I remember ** Leaves are fallin', it's September The night came in and made her shiver I told her she could have my jacket Wrapped it tight around her shoulders And I was so young 'til she kissed me Like a whiskey, (like a whiskey) Would've left this world behind Just to wake up by your side Every mornin' I Would've sold my soul for a little more time Would've waited a thousand nights If she never said goodbye I admit that I Would've sold my soul for a little more time ( REPEAT * , ** ) I ain't like the other Cognacs Or type of cat that'd never call back Or lose contact when you runnin' out of rum and you make a run (Feelin' light and dizzy, might be tipsy) All of that tequila's a killer, little vodka Break her off somethin' proper Pop a cork and play spin the bottle (Every time you kiss me, like some whiskey) Punch drunk love, it's a fine line Dom Pérignon, she the fine wine Someone call 911, I'm runnin' out of time She done got off my heart ( REPEAT ** ) And I was so young 'til she kissed me Like a whiskey, like a whiskey
