I Had To Get Drunk Last Night

(albüm: Your Place Or Mine - 1977)

I had to get drunk last night
I couldn't lay down without a fight
I had to get drunk last night
When I should have been sleeping with you

Now I'm the kind of man
That needs a gentle hand to hold on
When I get on that crazy cloud of mine
When I first looked into your eyes
The story of my life flew by
And every page was written in your hand
From 'I love you' to 'Baby it's the end'
I know that fools are born they are made
And drunken hearted lovers all get saved

I had to get drunk last night
I couldn't lay down without a fight
I had to get drunk last night
When I should have been sleeping with you

Now I ain't never been too good
At doing the things I know I should
And I know that I should make myself go home
But I drank to a memory
What never was and will never be
And I don't feel no changes coming on
When I'm drinking I don't notice that you're gone
Now I know that fools are born they are made
But you have made the biggest fool today

I had to get drunk last night
I couldn't lay down without a fight
I had to get drunk last night
When I should have been sleeping with you
