It’s not the alcohol talkin’
It’s the alcohol confessin’
What’s concealed is revealed
In a sobering lesson
And I’m a slow learner
But eventually I’ll get it down
It may take a few cups of coffee
Probably another round
There’s something in the bottle
I’ll open it up to you
When I’m faced enough to face it
And loose enough to let loose
There’s something in the bottle
I’ll open it up to you
With the handle on a drawer
Or the edge of a stool
I need a dose of liquid courage
To fulfill a selfish sober wish
To let you know just how I’m feeling
To let this guarded heart confess...
That I love you when I’m drinking water
You warm my heart when I’m all out of wine
Cold orange juice or hot apple cider
You easily please my mind
And I love you when I’m drinking water
You’re sweet honey when I’m drinking tea
Your kindness is overflowing
No matter the drink that's in front of me
That’s not the alcohol talkin’
That's the alcohol confessin’
All the sober feelings
I have trouble expressin’
There’s one voice cautionin’ me to “behave”
The other‘s pressing me to “be brave”
Be brave, be bold
Let loose, let go
Be brave, be bold
Let loose, let go
Be brave, be bold
Let loose, let it go
Let her know, let her know...
That I love you when I’m drinking water
You warm my heart when I’m out of wine
Cold orange juice or hot apple cider
You easily please my mind
And I love you when I’m drinking water
You’re sweet honey when I’m drinking tea
Your kindness is overflowing
No matter the drink that's in front of me
