[Verse 1]
How many shots do you have to take
To be an alcoholic?
How much shit do you gotta say
To be psychotic?
How many teardrops
How many teardrops
Is it gonna take for me to make
Another gin and tonic?

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I'm not tryin' to make excuses
But I, I can't explain these bruises
No, I'm not sure how long I can do this
I'm not sure no more

[Chorus]
Mama (Mama), I think I drank too much today
Mama (Mama), I think all of my friends hate me
You gotta (Gotta) promise you'll always forgive me
Mama, mama, mama
Mama (Mama), I think I drank too much today
Mama (Mama), I really hate the way I feel
You gotta (Gotta) promise you'll always forgive me
Mama, mama, mama
[Verse 2]
How many days is it gonna take
To fix this headache?
How many hearts do I gotta break
To make it better? Yeah
How many teardrops
How many teardrops
Do I have to see so I don't feel
So pathetic?

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I'm not tryin' to make excuses
But I, I can't explain these bruises
No, I'm not sure how long I can do this
I'm not sure no more

[Chorus]
Mama, I think I drank too much today
Mama, I think all of my friends hate me
You gotta promise you'll always forgive me
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, I think I drank too much today
Mama, I really hate the way I feel
You gotta (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Promise you'll always forgive me
Mama, mama, mama
[Bridge]
(Mama)
(Mama)
(Gotta)

[Chorus]
Mama, I think I drank too much today
Mama, I think all of my friends hate me
You gotta (You gotta) promise you'll always forgive me
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, I think the city made me fake
Mama, no more parties in LA
You gotta promise you'll always forgive me
Mama, mama, mama
