[Verse 1]
All I ever did was give you my attention
Every Friday night since I turned twenty-two
I trusted you with my naive intentions
Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
I gave you every penny in my pocket
You helped me lie and made me tell the truth
Stayed out with you all night when you came callin'
Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?

[Chorus]
I let you stay, you made her leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
Went to hell and can't get back
The only thing I couldn't stand to lose
Hey, whiskey
Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?

[Verse 2]
You talked me into letting her walk out
Promised me I'd find somebody new
But I gotta ask from where I sit right now
Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
[Chorus]
I let you stay, you made her leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
Went to hell and can't get back
The only thing I couldn't stand to lose
Hey, whiskey
Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?

[Bridge]
I held you up
You let me drown
No, you ain't worth the hurt
So why can't I put you down?

[Chorus]
I let you stay, you made her leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
Went to hell and can't get back
Both the hearts that you just broke in two
Hey, whiskey
Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
Hey, whiskey
Hey, whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
