I saved a place in my heart 

for your warm, sweet embrace,

I saved a place by my side for you,

and your farewell, just for the record, 

sounded so sincere, 

and the girl on my left, 

is lookin' better every beer.



I've done my time, I've paid my dues,

just to see the skies of blue,

it's just as hard being lonely 

as it is to be with you,

and when you parted,

you just knew I'd drown in my own tears,

and the girl on my left, 

is lookin' better every beer.



I've given up feeling sorry for myself, 

I've still some pride left in me, 

and I'll find someone else.



I saved a place in my heart 

for your warm, sweet embrace,

I saved a place by my side for you,

and your farewell, just for the record, 

sounded so sincere,

and the girl on my left, 

is lookin' better every beer.
