The Queen and I
Lyrics
I love that how she breathes booze in the mornin'
Man, it's so sexy how she can't remember last night
I made a fatal mistake letting her drink again
Well who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life?
And if you could put numb in a shotglass
I'm just another lush who's had one too many in me
And we please don't have enough
I see you stand there, settle for anything, anything's better than lettin' her,
'Cause she could do better than me
She'll come around eventually
'Cause baby girl's a queen
And a queen is just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she's made me a fiend
I won't be withdrawed 'cause I got nothing to lose
Oh no,
She's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, oh so, hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow
I find it funny she can never find her car keys
Immediately after telling me she can't take it
She makes the cutest faces when she screams obscenities
And slurs her words because she's never not inebrieated
And the front page that I'd read
Let the girl go, you know you can do better
It's bad, when the fact that you can't have her
Is the reason you sweat her,
Don't let her take advantage of you
Like the other girls let her
You better cut your losses now buddy.
'Cause baby girl's a queen
And a queen's a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she's made me a fiend
I won't be withdrawed 'cause I got nothing to lose
Oh no,
She's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, oh so, hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow
Drown yourself,
It's not worth keeping me
Just put it down right now,
When bow out gracefully
('Cause baby girl's a queen
The queen's the part with a bunch of fancy moves
And she's made me a fiend
I won't be withdrawed 'cause I got nothing to lose)
Oh no,
She's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo, she's at the bottom of that bottle
She's only one more swallow
From being, you know, so hollow
(Hey! Hey! Hey!...)
