A man can't face the cold, hard truth And closing time is when I'll leave. Till then it's just between this bottle and me. Yeah, this is just between the bottle and me. With nothing less than 90 proof. Didn't come in here for your sympathy, And a honky

I dedicate, I dedicate I don't wanna fight it I give you my fortune I dedicate to you You a real ass woman and I like it This song's for you Dedicate, I dedicate the world I dedicate, dedicate, dedicate

This time, I'm gonna be stronger I'm not giving in Not giving in This time, I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in Well, it's time to start the show Lost my heart and lost my soul Now it's the time that you won't know Lost my mind and lost my goal

Voodoo, ee-yea ee-yea V-V-Voodoo, ee-yea ee-yea You got me too attached, keep me comin' right back And just like that, got me comin' right back like And I know that I ain't fuckin' with your voodoo If this is what you call love Oh man down You're shaking
