Midnight in the big city 
At the bar drinking all on my own 
Just thinking about that girl and me 
How something's going wrong 

Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace? 
The back room boys 
Were all telling me 
I'm a borderline case 

Back on the borderline one more time 

Seven beers and still sober 
It's time to change to something stronger 
I cannot take this scene no longer 
She could have told me it's all over 

Back in my home town 
The old place is still the same 
But time can cast a spell over something 
You can't go back again 

Back on the borderline one more time 

Mister, fill me another 
Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around 
Just pass that bottle one more time 
And slowly drink it down 

Jeanie can I tell you? 
The shame of my disgrace 
It's just love or rejection 
For this borderline case 

Back on the borderline one more time 

I'm on my bended knees crawling 
I'm begging you darling
