Ladies Love Lyrics: Elle Varner "Refill"

This track has literally been on repeat for at least two weeks. "Refill" was initially an interlude on Elle's "Conversational Lush" mixtape. It is now serving as the second single from her yet to be released debut. There is something so intoxicating about this track. There is a violin riff that is repeated throughout the whole song that drew me in. Then, of course, there are the actual lyrics. I love the lyrical word play of this song. Comparing the first meeting to being a little tipsy is genius. Calling yourself a conversational lush made this writer/poet beyond happy. And, to top it all off, Elle can sing. I am a fan. I'm patiently waiting for her cd to drop. Until then, I will continue to vibe uber hard to her two singles and free mixtape. Get into these lyrics.

"I feel like the girl at the bar who’s been there too long
Can’t stand up!
I should be gone but I just can’t get enough, yeah!

Fumbling, giggling, silly as ever
I get like this after one too many
But right now I ain’t even been drinkin'
He approached me and asked for a minute
Which turned into five,
then turned into ten
And right now I don’t know how to say when

So can I get a refill?
Can I get a refill?
Can I get a refill?
Yeah, of your time
Cause you’re intoxicating my mind
Feel like a conversational lush
Cause I don’t know how much is too much, yeah

I feel like the girl at the bar who’s been there too long
Can’t stand up!

Wishin' and hopin' that I don't blow it
I'm nervous as hell
I don’t wanna show it
And right now I don’t even know what I’m saying
I've never had game, no never
I don’t wanna sound like a broken record
But until you say goodnight
All I know is that I’m staying!

So can I get a refill?
Can I get a refill?
Can I get a reeeeeeeeeeefill?
Yeah, of your time
Cause you’re intoxicating my mind
Feel like a conversational lush
Cause I don’t know how much is too much, yeah

I feel like the girl at the bar who’s been there too long
Can’t stand up!

I need a shot of you on the rocks
Cause I’m down to my very last drop...
