Since I fell for you You made me leave my happy home You took my love and now you're gone Love brings such misery and pain I guess I'll never be the same It's so bad, It's so sad I'm in love with you You love me, then you snub me But what can I do

Drinkin' too much, drinkin' too much Since you been gone, I can't get gone enough I'm gonna drink it all 'til you're not around I'm on top of the world, I'm going down Oh, I drink and take a sip of it Feelin' like a hypocrite Go for more and I don't give

Someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life no more Oh Lord, Lordy Lord, it hurts me so bad for us to part You're on my mind every place I go How much I love you, baby you'll never know So many mornings since you've been gone I'm on my knees prayin' to you

Drinkin' too much, drinkin' too much Since you been gone, I can't get gone enough I'm gonna drink it all 'til you're not around I'm on top of the world, I'm going down Oh, I drink and take a sip of it Feelin' like a hypocrite Go for more and I don't give

But it doesn't mean anything All at once I had it all Now that you're gone Since you're gone 'Cause it's over From afar, seems I had it all Seems I had it all

Alberta, Alberta, Where you been so long? Ain't had no loving Since you've been gone. Where'd you stay last night? Girl, you're on my mind. Alberta, Alberta Come home this morning, Clothes don't fit you right

In the silence of my mind I can see our love was just a line To a grasp of air That's nowhere And while I wait for love's embrace My life is but a race Since you're gone now All my light is left to waste I never learned the rule

They call the lonely one Is it good to have cried? With the longing to hide On your heartaches and fears Is it wise to be cold, to struggle, to hold back with tears If you could only see the girl You'd know that since you're gone The lonely one is me
