Lyrics

It's midnight in the big city
At the bar, drinkin' all on my own
Just thinking about that girl and me
How something's goin' wrong
Mister, tell me
What's my savin' grace?
The back room boys are all tellin' me
I'm a borderline case
Back on the borderline, one more time
Back on the borderline, one more time
Seven beers and still sober
It's time to change to somethin' stronger
I cannot take this scene no longer
She could have told me it's all over
Back in my hometown
The old place, it's still the same
But time can cast a spell over something
And you can't go back again
Back on the borderline, one more time
Back on the borderline, one more time
Mister, fill me another
Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around
Just pass that bottle one more time
And slowly sink it down
Jeanie, can I tell you
The shame of my disgrace?
It's just love or rejection
For this borderline case
Back on the borderline, one more time
Back on the borderline, one more time
(Back on the borderline) I'm on my hands and knees, I'm crawlin'
I'm beggin' you, darlin'
One more time
Back on the borderline, one more time (One more time)
(Back on the borderline) I know the risk you're takin'
But please don't leave me forsaken
One more time
Back on the borderline, one more time (One more time)
