And I ain't one to be nobody's second best, no Stop holding onto me when the truth is you can't let go I think we both know You're still in love with your ex, oh I'm looking in your eyes and I can see just what you're doing Baby, I'm the one you're

Takes another drink or two, Things look better when she's through Now change has come over her body, She doesn't see me anymore Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my

Why don't you do somethin'? I see you lookin' at me Get up out of your seat Like I'm some kind of freak Like I got what you need What'chu gonna do when the crowd goes a-yo? Why you standin' on the wall? Music startin' everywhere So why don't you just

No one's ever gonna censor me I won't turn and look away When it's all you wanna see You're the coward, you're the thief And that's all you'll ever be Stay away, decay before I go insane Who knew bliss was such a risk All the thoughts I have I'm too
