Well you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight But liquor and love they just don't mix leave the bottle or me behind And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find 'Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind You never take me anywhere because you're always gone And many a night I've laid awake and cried here all alone Then you come in a kissin' on me it happens every time No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find 'Cause if you want that kind of love well you don't need none of mine So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
