Lyrics
Love In A Jar
Don't reach for the bottle tonight
Don't reach for the bottle tonight
Let's try and talk this though
Just us, me and you
So don't reach for the bottle tonight
Don't reach for the whiskey this time
Don't reach for the whiskey this time
It's been a long time since we talked
So please keep the bottle corked
Don't reach for the whiskey this time
Don't leave me this way again
Don't leave me this way again
While you drink away your fears
I'll be drowning in my tears
Don't leave me this way again
Don't look for love in a jar
Don't look for love in a jar
'Cus while the glass keeps us apart
The ice will freeze your heart
So don't look for love in a jar
Don't reach for the bottle tonight
Don't reach for the bottle tonight
'Cus when you finally come down
I might not be around
So don't reach for the bottle tonight
Don't reach for the bottle tonight
