(Please baby, wait for me, wait for me, wait for me)

I got loaded last night on a bottle o' gin
And I had a fight with my best girlfriend
But when I'm drinkin', I am nobody's friend
But please, baby, wait for me until they let me out again

I know the same thing has happened before
And every time it does, I hate it more and more
But when I'm drinkin', I am nobody's friend
So please, baby, wait for me until they let me out again

I spend a whole lotta time sittin' and thinkin'
Sittin' and just thinkin' 'bout you
Well if I didn't spend so much time sittin' and drinkin'
We'd still have the love that we once knew

Oh, I won't promise the same thing won't happen again
But I can promise it'll be a long, long time till then
'Cause when I'm drinkin', I am nobody's friend
But please, baby, wait for me until they let me out again
Please, baby, wait for me until they let me out again
