You’re crashing into me like waves on the coast
Every time we talk, you move in close
I don’t want you to stop, I don’t want you to stop tonight
We got the last two glasses on a straw hut bar
Trying to remember what number we are
String of white lights making your eyes shine tonight
We’re buzzing like that “no vacancy” sign out front
Your skin is begging to be kissed by a little more than the sun
You take my hand in yours, you lean in
And your lips taste like sangria, your lips taste like sangria
A wrecking ball dancing down the hallway
You’re holding your shoes, wearing my shades
We fall against the door, we fall into a wild warm kiss
We’re buzzing like that “no vacancy” sign out front
Your skin is begging to be kissed by a little more than the sun
You take my hand in yours, you lean in
And your lips taste like sangria, your lips taste like sangria
Only thing I wanna do tonight is drink you like a Spanish wine
Let you let this head of mine keep spinning, spinning around
We’re buzzing like that “no vacancy” sign out front
Your skin is begging to be kissed by a little more than the sun
You take my hand in yours, you lean in
And your lips taste like sangria, your lips taste like sangria
Your lips taste like sangria, your lips taste like sangria
Oh
Only thing I wanna do tonight is drink you like a Spanish wine
Let you let this head of mine keep spinning, spinning around
The Allure of Intoxication and Romance
“Sangria” by Blake Shelton paints a vivid picture of passion and irresistible attraction. The lyrics use the imagery of sangria—a sweet, intoxicating Spanish wine—to symbolize the heady rush of a romantic encounter. Shelton’s storytelling captures the electric energy between two people, detailing moments of closeness, playful flirtation, and the blurring of boundaries as the night unfolds. The chorus, with its repeated reference to lips tasting like sangria, evokes both the sweetness of the drink and the intoxicating effect of love. The song’s warm, sultry mood is enhanced by references to white lights, a straw hut bar, and a “no vacancy” sign, creating an atmosphere filled with anticipation and desire.
