Last night all alone in a barroom. Met a girl with a drink in her hand.. She had ruby red lips, coal black hair. And eyes that would tempt any man.. Then she came and sat down at my table,.
My bills are paid, I've got some money saved. But It's been a week since I've seen my baby's face. Too much caffeine, and nicotine. Need a double shot of whiskey just to get to sleep.
At the start I told myself that gettin' over you'd be easy. So what if you walked off, and left my world in pieces. The truth was I was hurting, as I pulled it all together.
I sit there talking to myself, why can't he turn it down?. He keeps that TV up so loud that I can't think. And every time I turn a page he starts to talk about his day.
Well, you walked out again while we were talking. Just took the car and drove off in the night. I understand that frustrated feeling. But running out don't change and make it right.
Don't forget the scarf I gave you. You're gonna need it when the cold sets in. I know you'll want the leather sofa. Now that you've finally got it broken in.
I'm the center of attention in this barroom. 'Cause I've got the biggest heartache of the year. And each night those swingin' doors reach out to me and draw me in.
Tonight you're mine completely. You give your love so sweetly. Tonight the light of love is in your eyes. But will you love me tomorrow?. . Is this a lasting treasure.
Tonight you're mine completely. You give your soul so sweetly. Tonight the light of love is in your eyes. But will you love me tomorrow?. . Is this a lasting treasure.
Fancy you showin' up at this place. Big stuff on your vanity plates. Kissin' everybody on both of their cheeks. Just you and what's her name. . Every woman in the room over eighteen hates her.
Where does that leave me now?. . Not long ago under the moonlight. We gave our hearts away. One moment in time. Never felt so right. . And I meant every word.
Sir, if you don't mind I'd rather be alone. From the moment I walked in tonight, you've been comin' on. If I've told you once, I've told you twice, I'm just here to unwind.
Here you are on the porch again. With your hat in your hand and a guilty grin. Baby I ain't gonna fall for that just because I always have. And I'm not the only one who won't be taken in.
The more I needed, the less you gave. I guess you thought that it worked that way. You never would listen and now that I'm leaving. You're not believing a word I say.
You come in while I'm sitting at the mirror. You wanna say you know that I look nice. I sit in desperate silence and I listen. And with a cutting eye, you know you'd better look twice.
Well, you always only use your love to tease me. You really don't me on, you only lead me on. And I always bite your line, hook and sinker. But you know I'm thinking that I'm catching on.
Us girls have been best friends. Since the last time big hair was in. We know each other very well. . Old hurts and brand new flames. Big jobs and baby names.
I can see it all so clearly as I'm lookin' back. I was headed down the wrong way on a one-way track. There must be a million chances that a fool could take.
I've cried an ocean of salty tears, so torn apart by love. Struggled through so many lonely years, dying for a lover's touch. Now that I'm lying here safe in your arms.
