Lyrics

BREAKFAST WITH YOU
Written by Mike Butler and Emily Madronich
August 5, 2012

Guy:
I knew, I'd have a wild night on the town
I knew, I'd chase a shot of Jack with one of Crown
I knew, I'd lose my keys, my phone and wallet too

Refrain:
But I never thought I'd be here having breakfast with you

Girl:
I knew, I'd stumble to that Karaoke stage
I knew, I'd find those smokes I'd sworn I'd put away
I knew, I'd trade a kiss to score a drink or two

Refrain:
But I never thought I'd be here having breakfast with you

Bridge:
Guy: How did she
Girl: How did he
Both: End up in this café with me?
Girl: Mixing friends and alcohol
Guy: Makes lovers in no time at all

Guy:
I knew, I'd get punched for spilling beer on some guys pants
I knew, I'd clear the floor for my Mick Jaggar dance
I knew, I'd spend all my cash buying women booze

Refrain:
But I'd never thought I'd be here having breakfast with you

Guitar solo

Girl:
I knew, I'd dance on tables 'cause I lost a bet
I knew, I'd hit some diner and run out on the cheque
I knew, I'd trip and fall, wake up cut and bruised

Refrain:
But I'd never thought I'd be here having breakfast with you

Bridge:
Guy: How did she
Girl: How did he
Both: End up in this café with me?
Girl: Mixing friends and alcohol
Guy: Makes lovers in no time at all

Guy: I knew, I'd have to call in sick to work
Girl: I knew, I'd skinny dip and then never find my shirt
Both: I knew, I'd light one up as the sun shone through

Refrain:
But I never thought I'd be here having breakfast with you

Boy: I thought, we would always just stay friends
Girl: I thought, I'd never look at you the way that I've been
Both: I'm glad, I let the unexpected kick in
Tomorrow morning let's meet here for breakfast again
