  • I love that how she breathes booze in the mornin'
    Man, it's so sexy how she can't remember last night
    I made the fatal mistake of lettin' her drink again
    Well, who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life?
    And if you could put dumb in a shot glass
    I'm just another lush who's had one too many in me
    Pussy's not enough
    Forcin' me to stay and settle for anything
    Anything's better than lettin' her
    Think she could do better than me
    She'll come around eventually

    'Cause baby girl's a queen
    But the queen's just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
    And she's made me a fiend
    I'm goin' through withdrawal but I got nothin' to lose

    [Chorus]
    Oh no (Hey!)
    She's at the bottom of that bottle (Hey! Hey!)
    She's only one more swallow (Hey!)
    From being oh-so hollow (Hey!)
    (Hey! Hey! Hey!)
    Bravo (Hey!), she's at the bottom of that bottle (Hey! Hey!)
    She's only one more swallow (Hey!)
    From being oh-so hollow (Hey!)
    (Hey! Hey! Hey!)

    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 inebriated
    And the front page headline 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 dudes let her
    You better cut your losses now, buddy

    'Cause baby girl's a queen
    But the queen's just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
    And she's made me a fiend
    I'm goin' through withdrawal but I got nothin' to lose

    [Chorus]

    Drown yourself
    It's not worth keeping me
    Just put it down right now
    And bow out gracefully
    Drown yourself
    It's not worth keeping me
    Just put it down right now
    And bow out gracefully

    [Chorus] Writer/s: DAVID KATZ, DISASHI LUMUMBA-KASONGO, MATTHEW MC GINLEY, SAM HOLLANDER, TRAVIS MC COY
