Lyrics

Ooh, it's almost two Been sitting here wishing that I could see you That's why I'm drinking again And thinking of when you loved me I'm having a few, and wishing that you were here I'm making the rounds and buying the rounds for strangers Yes, I'm being a fool, just hoping that you'll appear Sure, I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a joke But who's gonna laugh, who's gonna laugh at a broken heart? That's why it's better, drinking again And thinking of when you left me Can't you see I'm trying to make it on home? And ain't got nothing but a memory Maybe I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a joke But, who's got the nerve, the nerve to laugh at my broken heart? That's why it's better drinking again And thinking of when you left me I'm trying to make it up on home With just a memory I know you heard me the first time I said I'm trying to make it on home And ain't got nothing, nothing but a memory
