(Charlie Rich)



(Please baby wait for me, wait for me, wait for me.)



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 am nobody's friend

But, please baby wait for me until they let me out again.



I know the same thing has happened before

And every time it does I hate it more and more

But when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend.

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again.



Spend a whole lot of time sittin' and thinkin'

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 the same thing won't happen again

But I can promise it'll be a long, long time till then

'Cause when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

But, please baby, wait for me until they let me out again.



Please baby, wait for me until they let me out again...
