She was flagging down the waiter She was feeling 'bout as faded as the flowers from that wallpaper Nobody'd even asked for her ID when she walked in there Don't know how long she'd been there She was fixing up her hair and fumbling though her purse She was tired of feeling lonely She was tired of feeling old She was hating the idea of going home alone So she got drunk last night Drunk enough to call That number in her phone that she would never call Without the alcohol But she needed an excuse To let herself get used and so that's why She got drunk the way she'd never The way she hadn't in forever But she needed to feel better, and wanted, and beautiful Even if he didn't love her And it had been a long time over She had to make one more mistake And she couldn't do that sober So she got drunk last night Drunk enough to call That number in her phone that she would never call Without the alcohol But she needed an excuse To let herself get used and so that's why Oh, she got drunk last night (drunk last night) Yeah she needed an excuse To let herself get used and so that's why She got drunk last night (drunk last night) She got drunk last night
