I've been trying to talk to you all night
But you just keep on pushing me away
Shot after shot
I've even tried it on the rocks
But you're not listening
Was hoping you would help me see the light
Make it all make sense
So I stop blaming myself
Oh tequila
Why aren't you listening?
I've been up and down
Tried everything
And I just don't know where to go
Maybe

I'm wishing on stars, but they're not the right ones
Maybe I'm betting on luck, it just doesn't exist
I'm at the bottom of the glass and you haven't said a word
Oh, tequila, why aren't you listening?
I've been talking to you for about an hour
I think that you're just making things worse
The guy on the corner is giving me a wink
And that one over there in the ball cap says he's buying my next drink
You know I came here to be lonely, not walk into my next mistake
Oh, tequila, why aren't you listening?
I've been up and down, I've tried everything
And I just don't know where to go
Maybe I'm wishing on stars, but they're not the right ones
Maybe I'm betting on luck, it just doesn't exist
I'm at the bottom of the glass and you haven't said a word
Oh, tequila, why aren't you listening?
Tequila, you're the only thing I have to confide in
When the neon shines upon me
That's the only time I feel alright
I've been up and down, I've tried everything
And I just don't know where to go
Maybe I'm wishing on stars, but they're not the right ones
Maybe I'm betting on luck, it just doesn't exist
I'm at the bottom of the glass and you haven't said a word
Oh, tequila, why aren't you listening?
Tequila, why aren't you listening?
Tequila, why aren't you listening?
