Don't get it twisted if I start reminiscing That ain't my mission tonight My heart ain't broken, but this bottle opened A sugar-coated moment in time Back when you and I were a-okay I could've sworn I threw that memory away Just so you know, girl, I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you I miss you 'cause I'm drinking Gonna blame it on the 90 proof It's the maker's fault, I'm thinking Thinking 'bout us, and what might've been I might be drunk, but I still know the difference I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you I miss you 'cause I'm drinking I wasn't hurtin' 'til I started sippin' bourbon Now Kentucky's started stirring the past I just came here for a good time How the hell'd you get back on my mind? In the morning, I'll be just fine Thought I was doing better But for the record Just so you know, girl, I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you I miss you 'cause I'm drinking Gonna blame it on the 90-proof It's the maker's fault, I'm thinking Thinking 'bout us, and what might've been I might be drunk, but I still know the difference I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you I miss you 'cause I'm drinking Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa I've been missing you, I miss you so much I could've sworn I threw that memory away But I guess liquor likes to hit replay Just so you know, girl, I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you I miss you 'cause I'm drinking Gonna blame it on the 90 proof It's the maker's fault, I'm thinking Thinking 'bout us, and what might've been (and what might've been) I might be drunk, but I still know the difference I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you I miss you 'cause I'm drinking (I miss you girl, I miss you girl) I ain't drinking 'cause I miss you I miss you 'cause I'm drinking

(Writer: Jesse Winchester) It's true, you've got me going, 'round in circles You keep me so darned dizzy, I could cry But every time you hurt me, I grow a little stronger I'll soon be strong enough to say goodbye. It will be so good to smile Gee, it's been a long, long while After all that I've been through Just 'cause I'm in love with you. But there will come a day, you'll see You won't have control of me You can't hurt me like you do Just 'cause I'm in love with you. --- Instrumental --- I'll ask, whatever saint looks after lovers I'll ask, would you please look after me And would you kindly hear my prayer, And have a little mercy? Please, if she doesn't love me, set me free. It will be so good to smile Gee, it's been a long, long while After all that I've been through Just 'cause I'm in love with you But there will come a day, you'll see You won't have control of me You can't hurt me like you do Just 'cause I'm in love with you...

And I can see in your eyes that you mean it And I can feel in your arms that it's true And though I just heard myself say it Baby, I'm lying to you Baby, I'm lying to you All of these years you've been lonely And knowing not what you should do And though you are right, I've been looking as well Babe, I'm not looking for you Babe, I'm not looking for you And I'm just as damn disappointed as you Only I just do better to hide it And the one thing that keeps me from falling for you Is I'm truly alone and I like it I'm truly alone and I like it And as we lie in bed I feel lonely Though we're young, I feel eighty years old And your arms around me are keeping me warm But baby, I'm still feeling cold Baby, I'm still feeling cold And girl you must know you are lovely You're kind and you're beautiful too And I feel in some way I do love you But babe, I'm not in love with you Babe, I'm not in love with you And it may seem strange that I still stay with you If it's true you're not really the one And why don't I just keep on looking for her? 'Cause I found her but now she is gone 'Cause I found her but now she is gone 'Cause I found her but now she is gone 'Cause once I found her but now she is gone
