Song Description

Need for an intervention for a loved one.

Lyrics

INTERVENTION

Get off my couch with your drunken self
And take your mess, yeah, somewhere else,
You should know by now not to mix your liquor,
It only makes you upset and bitter,
And don't look that way at me,
I'm not your enemy.

When I first met you I didn't think
That your crazy ways were due to drink,
But as things got worse I had to curse,
'Cause I'd find money missing from my purse,
And don't look that way at me
I'm not your enemy.

Chorus:
We need an intervention
Can someone else get in your head?
'Cause you haven't listened to a single word I've said,
We need an intervention
I don't know what else to do
But something has gotta happen
While I'm still in love with you.

First you're quarrelsome and then you're numb,
It's like a rollercoaster minus the fun,
I've told you many times that we are over
But I change my mind once you are sober,
I've gotta get off this ride
It's like suicide.

repeat chorus


Bridge:
I know that this is a hard decision
But a fortune you have blown,
We gotta take on this ugly mission
But we can't do it alone.

repeat chorus

As things got worse I had to curse
'Cause I'd find money missing from my purse,
And don't look that way at me
I'm not your enemy,
