[Chorus 1]
Leaves are fallin' in September
The night came in and made her shiver
I told her she could have my jacket
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
And I was so young 'til she kissed me
Like whiskey, like whiskey

[Verse 1]
I never knew that love was blind
'Til I was hers, but she was never mine
Yeah, I was reckless
I let it burn, I let it burn, yeah
The feelin', it was bittersweet
Realizin' I was in too deep
She was a lesson
I had to learn, I had to learn, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to try to forget her
But now I smile when I remember
Ooh

[Chorus 2]
Leaves are fallin' in September
The night came in and made her shiver
I told her she could have my jacket
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
And I was so young 'til she kissed me
Like whiskey, like whiskey
Ooh, like whiskey, ooh
[Verse 2]
Would've left this world behind
Just to wake up by your side
Every mornin', I would've sold my soul for a little more time
Would've waited a thousand nights
If she never said goodbye
I admit that I
Would've sold my soul for a little more time
Ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to try to forget her
But now I smile when I remember
Leaves are fallin' in September

[Verse 3]
I ain't like the other Cognacs
Or type of cat that'd never call back
Or lose contact when you runnin' out of rum and you make a run
(Feelin' light and dizzy, might be tipsy)
All of that tequila's a killer, little vodka
Break her off somethin' proper
Pop a cork and play spin the bottle
(Every time you kiss me, like some whiskey)
Punch drunk love, it's a fine line
Dom Pérignon, she the fine wine
Someone call 911, I'm runnin' out of time
She done got off with my heart, yeah
[Chorus 3]
Leaves are fallin' in September
The night came in and made her shiver
I told her she could have my jacket
Wrapped it tight around her shoulders
And I was so young 'til she kissed me
Like whiskey, like whiskey
And I was so young
'Til she kissed me
Like whiskey, like whiskey
