Love on the rocks Ain't no surprise Just pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies Got nothin' to lose so you just sing the blues All the time Gave you my heart Gave you my soul You left me alone here with nothing to hold Yesterday's gone Now all I want is a smile First, they say they want you How they really need you Suddenly you find you're out there Walking in a storm When they know they have you Then they really have you Nothing you can do or say You've got to leave, just get away We all know the song You need what you need You can say what you want Not much you can do when the feeling is gone May be blue skies above But it's cold when you love's on the rocks First, they say they want you How they really need you Suddenly you find you're out there Walking in a storm When they know they have you Then they really have you Nothing you can do or say You've got to leave, just get away We all know the song Love on the rocks Ain't no surprise Just pour me a drink and I'll tell you my lies Yesterday's gone And now all I want is a smile
