BARENAKED LADIES
"Alcohol"
(Stephen Duffy / Steven Page)

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
Oh, alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G and T for me
Alcohol, your songs resolve like my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Oh alcohol, would you please forgive me
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

I thought that alcohol was just for those with nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

And would you please ignore
That you found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole

Oh alcohol, would you please forgive me
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

Would you please forgive me
Would you please forgive me
