You don't understand my jokes 

You're burning my eyes with your smoke 

If I wasn't alone, I'd ask you to move away 

So I order up another round 

Sipping my last one down 

You're the best deal in town 

And I've only got dreams to dream of 

Sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love 



If you need a few drinks 

you could start with a couple of shots 

Give a couple of winks 

And later blame it all on the buzz 



And this year burned a hole in my hope 

I got debts that could choke out a rope 

And it's not my approach it's the way I go summing things up 

And there's really nothing great about this bar 

So here I am and right there you are 

We're both shooting way under par 

But soon we'll forget what par was 

Yeah, sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love 



If you need a few drinks 

You might as well start with a couple of shots 

Give a couple of winks 

And later blame it all on the buzz 

Sometimes, you need a few drinks to fall in love
