I Don't Wanna Be That Guy

(album: Last Rodeo - 2023)

I was keeping things simple
Same bar, same drinks, same neon lights
I was cool with being single
The last thing on my mind was a ride or die
I wasn't trying to fall
Wasn't looking for nothing
You showed up, girl
And all of a sudden

I don't wanna be that guy on Friday night
Where your friends all say, "I told ya"
Buy you a drink and tell you things
But never get to know you
I know I got a heartbreak reputation
Something tells me that tonight you're gonna change it
I swear them hazel eyes, they hit me like a Louisville Slugger
Ain't no amount of whiskey now gon' help me recover
I used to be the love and leave you kind
But I'm loving how with you, baby, I
I don't wanna be that guy
I don't wanna be that guy

I wasn't thinking 'bout the long haul
But whatever you did, girl, you flipped that switch
Now it's quarter past last call, then you're leaning in
For a never-wanna-say-goodnight kiss
I don't even care where the old me went

No, I don't wanna be that guy on Friday night
Where your friends all say, "I told ya"
Buy you a drink and tell you things
But never get to know you
I know I got a heartbreak reputation
Something tells me that tonight you're gonna change it
I swear them hazel eyes, they hit me like a Louisville Slugger
Ain't no amount of whiskey now gon' help me recover
I used to be the love and leave you kind
But I'm loving how with you, baby, I
I don't wanna be that guy
I don't wanna be that guy

I don't wanna be that guy on Friday night
Where your friends all say, "I told ya"
Buy you a drink and tell you things
But never get to know you
I know I got a heartbreak reputation
But something tells me that tonight you're gonna change it
I swear them hazel eyes, they hit me like a Louisville Slugger
Ain't no amount of whiskey now gon' help me recover
I used to be the love and leave you kind
But I'm loving how with you, baby, I
I don't wanna be that guy
I don't wanna be that guy, yeah

I don't wanna be that guy
I don't wanna be that guy
