Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To say she loved me so
It don't matter anymore
See she never cared
And she never will
I do all I can
I guess I'll just have to wait til then
Well I'll pass out on the floor baby
You won't bother me no more
If you're drinkin'
Well you know you're my friend
And I say I think I'll have myself a beer
I think I'll have myself a beer
She called me late last night
To say she loved me so
I guess you changed your mind
Well I should've known
It wouldn't be alright
Cause I can't live without her
So I won't even try
If I get drunk
Well I'll pass out on the floor baby
You won't bother me no more
If you're drinkin'
Well you know you're my friend
And I say I think I'll have myself a beer
I think I'll have myself a beer
Maybe someday I'll think of what to say
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do
She looks like heaven
Maybe this is hell
She said she'd do it all again
She promised not to tell
If I get drunk
Well I'll pass out on the floor baby
You won't bother me no more
She said it's okay Cory
Cause you know we'll be good friends
And I say I think I'll have myself a beer
I think I'll have myself a beer

She called me late last night
I received a call from her last night at an unusual time
To say she loved me so

Nothing else matters anymore

And she never will
There is no chance that she might have concern in the future
I do all I can
I put in all the effort that's possible
