drinking alone

let me make one thing clear

you can buy me a beer

but you ain't taking me home

no pick up lines

i came here tonight

to shed a few tears on my own

but sitting there across the room

i couldn't help but notice you

seemed a little down on your love too

yeah

my heart might be breaking

but this seat ain't takin'

and you've got me thinkin'

we should be drinkin' alone together

drownin' the pain is better

with somebody else who got problems

we ain't gonna solve 'em

the misery loves company

tonight all i need is a stranger

lips with a whiskey chaser

and a corner booth kiss

to make me forget that he's gone

oh

we should be drinkin' alone

we should be drinkin' alone

together

i don't know what she did

to make you hurt like this

but i know just what to do

it starts with a bottle

of good reposado

and ends with a shooter or two

tomorrow when the sun comes up

tonight's the night that never was

baby

just forget my name

won't be your one and only

but just 'cause we're lonely

don't mean that we should

we should be drinkin' alone

'cause drownin' the pain is better

with somebody else who got problems

we ain't gonna solve 'em

but misery loves company

tonight all i need is a stranger

lips with a whiskey chaser

and a corner booth kiss

to make me forget that he's gone

oh

we should be drinkin' alone

together

we should be drinking alone

i'll pretend that i care

baby

pull up a chair

we'll stay here 'til they make us go home

we should be drinkin' alone

oh

we should be drinkin' alone together

drownin' the pain is better

with somebody else who got problems

we ain't gonna solve 'em

but misery loves company

tonight all i need is a stranger

lips with a whiskey chaser

and a corner booth kiss

to make me forget that he's gone

oh

we should be drinkin' alone

together

we should be drinking alone

we should be drinkin' alone
