Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Well here we sit at a table for twoBut bottle there’s just me and youShe loved me so but I loved her so wrongI gave her too much of too little too longSo tell me bottle are the things I hear trueThat all the answers are in the bottle of youI need your help this memory’s so strongI gave her too much of too little too longSometimes a man can get lost in a world of his ownHe’ll neglect his real world who’s waiting at homeA woman needs her man’s love to lean onI gave her too much of too little too long
