[Verse 1]
With one or two, I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our move
By five or six, we go out to the car
At number nine with my head on the bar

[Refrain]
And it's sad
But true
Out of cash
And IOUs

[Verse 2]
I got desperate designs and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar, get you out of the cold
My sober straight face gets you out of your clothes

[Refrain]
And they're scared
That we know
All the crimes
They'll commit
Who they'll kiss before thеy get home

[Chorus]
I will lie awakе
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
[Verse 3]
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
You're keepin' up your looks that you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way, I swear, I'll tear you apart

[Refrain]
Cause it's all
You can be
You're a drunk
And you're scared
And it's ladies night; all the girls drink for free

[Chorus]
'Cause I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
'Cause I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
And I will lie awake
And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
