I've tried everything that I could think of Went out and bought some things I've wanted to Spent money for a while like it's going out of style Nothing takes the place of loving you I looked for consolation in the barrooms Like too many broken hearted do I drank a full grop down but every night I found Nothing takes the place of loving you Nothing takes the place of holding your soft hands in mine Empty gla**es only leave me blue Where your sweet lips used to be there's just a taste of wine And nothing takes the place of loving you I thought that I could find someone to help me Now I can't find the girls I've run through But after every fling I find the same old thing Nothing takes the place of loving you Nothing takes the place of holding your soft hands in mine Empty gla**es only leave me blue Where your sweet lips used to be there's just a taste of wine And nothing takes the place of loving you Nothing takes the place of loving you
