The Reason

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Sitting at the bar, telling fairy talesPouring whiskey in wishing wells, feeling sorry for myselfThere's only one person in this world that can save me from myselfSo I pick up the phone, pray that you're home, I'm all aloneSaying the reason I called you drunkIs I need your love so bad, so bad it hurtsBaby, it's worth saying the reason I stay messed upIs I need your love so bad, so badThere's some jerk at the bar smoking a big fat Cuban cigarAnd I wave my hands through the smokeI think I see you, but it's some kind of twisted jokeOh, you wouldn't be caught dead in hereJust the thought of me crying would make you disappearSaying the reason I called you drunkIs I need your love so bad, so bad it hurtsBaby, it's worth saying the reason I stay messed upIs I need your love so bad, so bad, so damn badI want a choir to singI'm saying the reason I called you drunkIs I need your love so bad, so bad it hurtsBaby, it's worth saying the reason I stay messed upIs I need your love so bad, so bad, so damn badGirl, you're the reasonYeah, you're the reasonYou know you're the reasonI need you so badGirl, you're the reasonYeah, you're the reasonYou know you're the reasonI need you so badI need you so bad
