BOTTLES OF WINE
(Lois Williams)


Lois Williams - 1969


Bottles of wine and flowers of night
They give to him things that aren't right
How can I go on until the end of time
Loving a man who loves bottles of wine

How much heartbreak can one poor heart stand
Brought on by one cold heartless man
He's taking my life one day at a time
Then leaves me at night for bottles of wine

Bottles of wine wreck my life and home
While he's out with those women, I'm here all alone
He's dancin' and drinkin' with women dressed fine
Spendin' his money on bottles of wine

(Instrumental Break)

If there was a price for misery and pain
I know I would win just by givin' my name
My future's not worth one thin silver dime
'Cause I love a man who loves bottles of wine

Bottles of wine and flowers of night
They give to him things that aren't right
How can I go on until the end of time
Loving a man who loves bottles of wine
Loving a man who loves bottles of wine
