  • She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
    While I'm drinkin' Jack all alone in my local bar
    And we don't know how
    How we got into this mad situation
    Only doing things out of frustration
    Tryna make it work, but man, these times are hard
    She needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time
    I got a new job now on the unemployment line
    And we don't know how
    How we got into this mess, is it God's test?
    Someone help us 'cause we're doin' our best
    Tryna make it work, but man, these times are hard

    But we're gonna start by
    Drinkin' old cheap bottles of wine
    Shit talkin' up all night
    Sayin' things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
    We're smilin' but we're close to tears
    Even after all these years
    We just now got the feelin' that we're meetin'
    For the first time

    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

    She's in line at the dole with her head held high
    While I just lost my job but didn't lose my pride
    And we both know how
    How we're gonna make it work when it hurts
    When you pick yourself up, you get kicked to the dirt
    Tryna make it work, but man, these times are hard

    But we're gonna start by
    Drinkin' old cheap bottles of wine
    Shit talkin' up all night
    Doin' things we haven't for a while, a while, yeah
    We're smilin' but we're close to tears
    Even after all these years
    We just now got the feelin' that we're meetin'
    For the first time

    Ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh
    Yeah

    Drinkin' old cheap bottles of wine
    Shit talkin' up all night
    Sayin' things we haven't for a while
    We're smilin' but we're close to tears
    Even after all these years
    We just now got the feelin' that we're meetin'
    For the first time

    Ooh (yeah, for the first time)
    Ooh (oh, for the first time)
    Ooh (yeah, for the first time)
    We just now got the feelin' that we're meetin'
    For the first time

    Oh, these times are hard
    Yeah, they're makin' us crazy
    Don't give up on me, baby
    Oh, these times are hard
    Yeah, they're makin' us crazy
    Don't give up on me, baby

    Oh, these times are hard
    Yeah, they're makin' us crazy
    Don't give up on me, baby
    Oh, these times are hard
    Yeah, they're makin' us crazy
    Don't give up on me, baby Writer/s: Daniel John O'Donoghue, Mark Anthony Sheehan
