Verse 1
You keep saying, “Come on, just one,”
Like you’re already sure you’ve won.
Salt on the rim, that smile on your face,
Girl, you’re dangerous in the sweetest way.
You say tequila frees your mind,
Makes you leave your worries behind.
I laugh and tell you, “If it’s ever gonna start…”
You’re gonna have to be the one who steals my heart.
Pre-Chorus
Thirty-seven years, I’ve been saying “No,”
Now you’re making “Maybe” sound possible.
Chorus
You could be my first margarita,
First little taste of letting go.
Pull me a little bit closer,
Tell me something only we should know.
If your lips get sweeter with a little lime and ice,
Girl, I might finally roll the dice.
I’ve been saving this first for somebody worth the wait…
So don’t keep me thirsty, baby, let’s make a date.
Verse 2
You joke your panties disappear
Every time the margaritas appear.
I smile and say, “Well, if that’s your game…”
I’m showing up for you, hopefully the flame.
‘Cause I’d rather steal a slow dance,
Than chase a buzz that never lasts.
You’re already intoxicating enough,
Without the tequila in your cup.
Bridge
Maybe one frozen glass,
Maybe one kiss that lasts.
Maybe we’ll laugh all night until closing time…
And we’ll never know if it was you…
Or the salt and the lime.
Chorus
You could be my first margarita,
First little taste of letting go.
Pull me a little bit closer,
Tell me something only we should know.
If your lips get sweeter with a little lime and ice,
Girl, I might finally roll the dice.
I’ve been saving this first for somebody worth the wait…
So don’t keep me thirsty, baby, let’s make a date.
Final Chorus
You could be my first margarita,
The first one I’d never forget.
One little sip, one little spark,
One little night that ain’t happened yet.
Girl, quit making promises that fade with the morning light.
I’ve been saving my first margarita…
Come be my first tonight.
