About How Many Drinks?

Though this track appeared on Miguel’s sophomore album, the drunken love ode was actually recorded several years earlier while Miguel was working on his debut LP All I Want Is You. During an annotation session with Genius, Miguel explained how he and producer Salaam Remi came up with the track. Once Salaam and I had done “All I Want is You,” the song, we kept working. “How Many Drinks?” is one of those songs that we never finished that I just kinda freestyled. .

How Many Drinks? Lyrics

[00:21.02] Frustration (watching you dance)
[00:26.13] Invitation (to get in them pants)
[00:31.93] Come closer, baby (so I can touch)
[00:37.68] One question (am I moving too fast?)
[00:43.25] 'Cause I ain't leaving alone
[00:46.39] I feel like I could be honest babe
[00:49.24] We both know that we're grown
[00:52.09] That's why I wanna know
[00:54.97] How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
[01:00.38] Yeah, you look good, and I got money
[01:03.08] But I don't wanna waste my time
[01:05.70] Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
[01:11.74] You look good, we came to party
[01:13.87] But I don't wanna waste my time
[01:16.36] Temptation (is calling your name)
[01:21.46] Sweet persuasion, oh (baby, this is a game)
[01:27.21] Come closer, baby (if you like what you hear)
[01:32.64] Impassioned (is what I'm making you feel)
[01:38.12] 'Cause I ain't leaving alone
[01:41.67] I feel like I could be honest babe
[01:44.61] We both know that we're grown
[01:47.35] That's why I wanna know
[01:50.08] How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
[01:55.43] Yeah, you look good, and I got money
[01:58.19] But I don't wanna waste my time
[02:00.95] Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
[02:06.66] You look good, we came to party
[02:09.21] But I don't wanna waste my time, waste my time

[02:23.50] L-l-let me dig that out like a fossil
[02:26.02] Damn, baby, that ass is colossal
[02:28.99] Pilates and milk did that body so good
