[Verse 1]

Once upon a lonely time, she swore she'd never let you down

You held her tight without a care in mind while she did her running 'round

At first you wouldn't face the truth, you loved her too much to let go

And though the story had to end, you want to be her fool again, friend, there's something you should know

[Chorus]

She'll have you back, back to drinking in no time, back to walking on your knees

Boy, open up your eyes and see the light, some things just aren't meant to be

I understand how she can get to you 'cause she's made more than one man blind

So try and face the cold hard fact, she would gladly have you back, back to drinking in no time

[Verse 2]

It just don't make no sense to me to play a game you'll never win

You asked me here for my advice, you say she wouldn't break you twice, friend, you'd better think again

[Chorus]

She'll have you back, back to drinking in no time, back to walking on your knees

Boy, open up your eyes and see the light, some things just aren't meant to be

I understand how she can get to you 'cause she's made more than one man blind

So try and face the cold hard fact, she would gladly have you back, back to drinking in no time

[Outro]

So try and face the cold hard fact, she would gladly have you back, back to drinking in no time
