Lyrics:
And at first I said “No”, but I did want it (Woo)
In order for you to leave, I said some nonsense (Hmm-hmm)
But after the drink number 5 I held your hand (Woo)
I loved how bad you were at dancing (Okay)
I met a girl at El Tejano (We danced)
To Spanish covers of Nirvana (We danced)
And got another margarita, she’s from Reseda
I said, “I’m from wherever you’re going tonight”
Yeah, drinking after dark, that’s when she stole my heart
She knew my friends, that’s where the story begins
Standing at the salsa bar, asked if it was mild
I was speechless but still I smiled
Took me by the hand and asked me if I had plans
I said, “Getting drunk and pretending that I can dance”
She laughed, I fell in love and there was no going back
Once you know it, yeah, you know it, that’s that
I met a girl at El Tejano (We danced)
To Spanish covers of Nirvana (We danced)
And got another margarita, she’s from Reseda
I said I’m from wherever you’re going tonight
It’s happy hour up in NoHo (We danced)
She said I never come here solo (We danced)
She bought a round of straight tequila, she’s from Reseda
I said, “I’m from wherever you’re going tonight”
She asked if I liked Friends, I guess that that was the test
I said, “Hell yeah, and Phoebe’s the fuckin’ best”
We were standing at the salsa bar, feeling the vibration
I always find myself in random situations
Ooh, do you wanna have a little bit of fun tonight?
She said, “Ooh, I do”
Ooh, do you wanna have a little bit of fun?
Once you know it, yeah, you know it, that’s that
I met a girl at El Tejano (We danced)
To Spanish covers of Nirvana (We danced)
And got another margarita, she’s from Reseda
I said I’m from wherever you’re going tonight
It’s happy hour up in NoHo (We danced)
She said I never come here solo (We danced)
She bought a round of straight tequila, she’s from Reseda
I said, “I’m from wherever you’re going tonight”
And at first I said “No”, but I did want it (Woo)
In order for you to leave, I said some nonsense (Hmm-hmm)
But after the drink number 5 I held your hand (Woo)
I loved how bad you were at dancing (Okay)
Let me, I will show you, the cumbia is mine
When this song is over we leave, who would have said?
Look, I don’t go out alone, but I arrive alone, I’m better off alone, but
We’re going to my place tonight
I met a girl at El Tejano (We danced)
(I’m from wherever you’re going)
To Spanish covers of Nirvana (We danced)
(I’m from wherever you’re going)
And got another margarita, she’s from Reseda
(I’m from wherever you’re going)
I said, “I’m from wherever you’re going tonight”
