It's late and she's waiting and I know I should go home But every time I start to leave they play another song Then someone buys another round and wherever drinks are free What's made Milwaukee famous has made a fool out of me Baby's begged me not to go so many times before She says love and happiness can't live behind those swinging doors Now's she's gone and I'm to blame to late I finally see What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me Baby's begged me not to go so many times before She says love and happiness just can't live behind those swinging doors Now's she's gone and I'm to blame to late I finally see What's made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me
