about

this lady has a drinking problem

lyrics

She don’t like to go to work
Says it takes too much of her precious time
She don’t need to cook or clean, she says,
“I ain’t hungry and the mess ain’t mine”

But she’ll spend 9 to 5, 8 days a week
All night long til she spring a leak
At the one thing she does best
The one thing that makes her feel fine

Baby like wine
And she says she likes me, too, but I ain’t sure if it’s true
But I can hope, and if it’s even half as much
Then let those grapes get crushed
Baby like wine

She can’t leave a drink undrunk
That’s her biggest claim to fame
Hates to see a ship unsunk, she’s got
A loaded tongue and deadly aim

She won’t ever leave a party early
Unless there’s nothing left at the bar
One half beauty, another half surly
Oh, she’s gonna leave a scar

Baby like wine
And the one thing you can bet
Is you never know what you’re gonna get
But I’ll take them odds like she takes every drop
We both can’t stop

She won’t let me get too close
Says there’s always time for that later
But even when later never comes
Try as I might, i just can’t hate her

My friends all say I should let her go
Find myself someone new
But I think I’ll stay with the devil I know
Red, white or blue

Baby like wine
And she says she likes me too, but I ain’t sure if it’s true
But I can hope, and if it’s even half as much
Then let those grapes get crushed
Baby like wine, Baby like wine, she like wine
