To see if I can find a little more alcohol
I'm smoking even the last bit
To see if I can enjoy 100% of the cigarette
Meanwhile
In a famous little bar
With a guy who's one of the biggest liars
He's already whispering in your ear
And what?
Using a repertoire of weak pick-up lines
Investing hard to get a laugh
Little does he know that you're just another one angry at your ex
And that you didn't even need 10% of what he did
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
I'm in pain, you're acting crazy
My mouth on the bottle, your mouth on someone else
But let's see in a month or so
I bet the scene will be different
You're in pain, I'm acting crazy
Your mouth on the bottle, my mouth on the crowd
Think about how anxious I am
To hit the streets again
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
And there's just a month or so left
Go, accordion player!
Using a repertoire of weak pick-up lines
Investing hard to get a laugh
Little does he know that you're just another one angry at your ex
And that you didn't even need 10% of what he did
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
I'm in pain, you're acting crazy
My mouth on the bottle (your mouth on someone else)
But let's see in a month or so
I bet the scene will (be different)
Very softly on the sound!
You're in pain, I'm acting crazy
Your mouth on the bottle, my mouth on the crowd
Think about how anxious I am
To hit the streets again
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
And there's just a month or so left
