        F
Memories and drinks don't mix too well.

Jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.

Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,

Tonight I need that woman again.

What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.

Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.

We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.
