Every Day... I Tell Myself, It's Temporary
That It's Only 'cause She's Young
That Makes Her Want... Another Man

Eventhough She Makes Me Feel Un-necessary
I've Found A Way To Help Me Understand

I've Got This Drinkin' Thing
To Keep From Thinkin' Things
About Where You've Been
Who You've Been With
What You've Done

And It's A Lonely Thing
But, It's The Only Thing
To Keep A Foolish Man In Love
Hangin' On...

If I Wait At Home, I'll Only Ask Her Questions
She'd Probably The Truth, So I Don't Even Ask
So, I Sit Here On This Barstool, Feelin' Helpless
And I Wonder, Just How Long ... A Man Can Last

I've Got This Drinkin' Thing
To Keep From Thinkin' Things
About Where You've Been
Who You've Been With
What You've Done

And It's A Lonely Thing
But It's The Only Thing
To Keep A Foolish Man In Love
Hangin' On ...

I've Got This Drinkin' Thing
To Keep From Thinkin' Things
About Where You've Been
Who You've Been With
What You've Done...
