More Often Than Not  (David Wiffen)   



Well, have I not been quite far enough 

How many times do you have to die now 

How many sets has it been 

Not another one, oh no 

And would you believe 

That it happens more often than not 

But here's to all the people 

That I'm not with tonight 

Wherever they are 



Well, I rolled into town last night, I'm tired 

And would you believe I would like to cry now 

I saw my lady laying there with a man 

Not another one, oh no 

And would you believe 

That it happens more often than not 

And here's to all the ladies 

That I'm not with tonight 

Wherever they are 



So I went on stumbling to the town 

How many times do you got to try 

Someone said that she would love me 

Not another one, oh no 

And would you believe 

That it happens more often than not 

But here's to all the ladies 

That fell for me tonight 

Whoever they are 



So pass that bottle, now give it here 

There's so many reasons to drink it dry 

Numb my pain maybe even kill me 

Hey have another one let's go 

And would you believe 

That it happens more often than not 

And here's to all the bottles 

That I've drunk in my time 

Whatever they were
