[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
