Lyrics for Alcohol

Alcohol, my permanent accessory Alcohol, a party-time necessity Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself Oh, alcohol, I still drink to your health I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea A malibu and coke for you, a G and T for me Alcohol, your songs resolve like my life never will When someone else is picking up the bill I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol Oh alcohol, would you please forgive me? While I cannot love myself I'll use something else I thought that alcohol was just for those with nothing else to do I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose To walk the fine line between self-control and self-abuse I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alcohol And would you please ignore That you found me on the floor Trying on your camisole Oh alcohol, would you please forgive me? While I cannot love myself I'll use something else Would you please forgive me? Would you please forgive me?
