lyrics

Once again we’re at the same old bar
I’m not surprised to see it’s still the same
It’s been so long since I’ve come in here
I feel like I’m the only thing that’s changed

But still I never know how this is supposed to go
I usually give up before I’ve reached this point
But here I am would you like to take a shot?
As far as icebreakers go, you know, I hope this works

I just figured it was the least I could do for you right now
I see right away you’re not afraid to take the whiskey down
I might have gotten myself into something I’m not ready for
Too late, I’m making sure I see this one through

I’m so sorry your name must have slipped my mind
Actually, I’m not sure I ever knew it all
But I’d be glad to remember it from here on out
You can have mine and do with it whatever you want

Then we could get out of here and have a party of our own
It could be fun with no one there to interrupt
We have all night to do whatever comes to mind
And then who knows, I guess we’ll see where this can go from here

I’m not so sure I have the time right now
To bring someone else into this life I lead
My apartment’s too small and it gets really cold
And I’ll go out of my way to keep this from getting old

I won’t be here when you, when you awake
I’m not the type to linger like a pesky scab, bop bop ba
We’d been drinking lord for, for goodness sake
There’s money on the dresser if you need to call a cab

I’m saying don’t fool yourself thinking I’m the one for you
You’ll never trick me into something I don’t want to do
You’re a stunner but I don’t want a love from you
Don’t think I’m trying to sound like I’ve got a heart of stone

‘Cause I know exactly how it feels to be let down
And can I tell you baby what I have found?
You got to learn to deal ‘cause it’s a part of life
And I have to say that’s why this was just for one night

You could say I’m just like every other guy
In and out, wham bam, thank you ma’am
But I’ll be a twixter until the day I die
You’ll feel better whenever you realize that

Don’t you see, I can’t begin to tell you why this can never be
So many things come to mind, you know, it’s overwhelming me
I’d love to sit for a minute and have something to drink
Catch my breath; I could use the time to think
I don’t understand why this is so hard to let go
It was one night, and it didn’t mean a thing
Do you want to hear me say that it’s because I was
Blacked-out, and despite what I might have said
I don’t want your love
I don’t need your love
And if you give your love
You can have it back
