[Verse 1]
She took the keys, she took the car
Took my love and she broke my heart
Poor me, poor me
Pour me another

[Verse 2]
Down with the blues, age-old infection
Learning to live with her rejection
Poor me, poor me
Pour me another

[Chorus]
Yeah, once I held her in the palm of the hand
Holding this empty glass
But just like her, buddy, it's all gone
It don't last, you know nothing lasts
I try real hard to forget her
It ain't no use, I should know better
Poor me, poor me
Pour me another

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Yeah, once I held her in the palm of the hand
Holding this empty glass
But just like her, buddy, it's all gone
It don't last, you know nothing lasts
Oh, bartender, fill it up
Let me drown in these tears of love
Poor me, poor me
Pour me another
I said poor me, poor me
Pour me another
