Lyrics
It?s not a question of what I want
It?s a question of what I need
And right now I think I needa drink
But I could be wrong
I could be wrong
?Cuz I?m not a good drinker
I get in a funk
While other?s get happy
I?m a crappy drunk
I?m seein? the truth
It cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just my life, oh yeah ?
NOT THE LIQUOR
No, it?s not the liquor ?
Only makes me stupid quicker.
I see the truth and it cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just -
Just my life.
Well, I use ta just function in a fog
Think I was really livin? (livin?)
Take any shit that came my way
Just take it, baby
(Take it, baby!)
And I?m no great thinker
I get in a state
I don?t have no patience
I just can?t wait
I need me a partner
I need a good wife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just my life ? oh, yeah
NOT THE LIQUOR
No, it?s not the liquor ?
Only makes me stupid quicker.
I see the truth and it cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just -
Just my life.
AND IT?S NOT a question of what I want
It?s a question of what I need
And right now I think I needa drink
But I could be wrong
I could be wrong
?Cuz I?m not a good drinker
I get in a funk
While other?s get happy
I?m a crappy drunk
I?m seein? the truth
It cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just my life, oh yeah ?
NOT THE LIQUOR
No, it?s not the liquor ?
Only makes me stupid quicker.
I see the truth and it cuts like a knife
It?s not the liquor, babe
It?s just -
Just my life.
