Story Behind The Song
We were drinking some terribly cheap pink champagne and laughing about how it really isn't very romantic...it is fake champagne to the hundredth degree...and pink? It's a hilarious beverage...and it needed a song written about it.
Song Description
A lady meets a boy by the curb side, takes him to a motel. They enjoy a night together. And she says 'wake me up with kisses and pink champagne.' He wants to hear her say that when he awakes. But she is gone, leaving behind only her passionate promises.

Lyrics
Why'd you put my love on cruise control?
How'd you put my heart on hold?
Your lights were on too high, Baby. You blinded me as you drove on by.
All I ever wanted, All I ever needed, all I ever wanted was to hear you say:
Wake me up with Kisses and Pink Champagne (repeated)
Why'd you put my love on cruise control?
How'd you put my heart on hold?
Don't you want my love? Don't you want my cruise control?
I saw you sittin' by the curb side. I thought I'd take you for a short drive. To a motel on the way. A little no-town-motel. You said a little liquor run I think...would be the perfect thing, I could use a drink. And I'm thinking something cheap and pink. Something cheap and pink.
Wake me up with Kisses and Pink Champagne (repeated)
