She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how
How we got in to this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess
Is it god's test
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while ya
We're smiling but we're close tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
[x3]
Oooooo
She's in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride
But we both know how
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up
You get kicked to the dirt
Trying to make it work but
Man these times are hard
But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Doing things we haven't for a while
A while ya
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time
Ooooo
[x3]
Yeah.....
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying thing we haven't for a while
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time
Ooooo...., yeahh for the first time
(ooooo....), oh for the first time
Yeah for the first time
(just now got the feeling that we're meeting...
For the first time)
[x4]
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
