Long Distance Drunk Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
(Hang it up now or never)
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again

Doesn't seem like anything you're saying or doing or doing
Is making any sense

[Chorus]
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
Hang it up now or never (Hang it up now or never)
Oh yeah, yeah
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again

Doesn't seem like anything you're saying or doing or doing
Is making any sense
[Chorus]
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Oh yeah, oh yeah

[Bridge]
(8 AM and someone calls you on the telephone)
Long distance drunk, long distance drunk
(You want to be by yourself and all alone)
Long distance drunk

[Verse 3]
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up now or never (Hang it up now or never)
Hang it up again
Hang it up again
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again

It doesn't seem like anything you're saying or saying or doing
Is making any sense

[Chorus]
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Oh yeah, oh yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
