Couldn't sleep a wink last night Every time I closed my eyes I saw you crying, crying all alone Instead of lying in bed These thoughts that raced around my head My crazy head I wish I was your father Then I could have seen you grow I'd love to watch you grow I wish I could have seen all the places All the faces that you've seen I wish I could Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Ah, yes he does These slow, sweet, sweet dreams Make me laugh and sometimes I thought I was insane My crazy head With my head down through the clouds Made me happy, made me strong, so proud My head in the clouds Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Ah yes he does Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows I swear he does It's not like I was alone I'm not alone And when I'm lying awake I think of all the hearts that I've broken I used to laugh Then again I catch my eyes in the mirror Just as the sun comes through the skies
I ain't so bad looking after all Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Ah yes he does Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Told you so Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Ah yes he does Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Whoa yeah Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows I know he does I can't get out of bed My crazy, lazy, lazy head won't go No I said Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows Take a chance on the liquor man Take a chance on the liquor man The liquor man knows It's not the memories It's not what I want you to be I want you here And when the sun don't shine I pull my head up underneath the covers I want to stroke your hair Soft and long Just once again Plant roses around your door Think of things I promised you A long time ago Ah nananana nanana
