I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin
And I had a fight with my best girl friend
But when I'm drinkin' I ain't nobody's friend
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I know that same doggone thing has happened before
And everytime it does I hate it more and more
But when I'm drinkin' I ain't nobody's friend
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I spent a whole lot of time sittin' and thinkin'
A sittin' and just thinkin' bout you
Well if I didn't spend so much time sittin' and drinkin'
We'd still have the love that we once knew

Oh I won't promise that it won't happen again
But I can promise it'll be a long long time till then
Cause when I'm drinkin' I ain't nobody's friend
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again
Please baby wait for me until they let me out again
