You thought I'd be waiting up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and ended up half-tied
But liquor and love, it just don't mix, leave a bottle or me behind

And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay up and all the town can see what you confined
'Cause if you want that kind of love, well, you don't need none of mine

And don't come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind

You never take me anywhere because you're always gone
Ready or not I've been awake and cried here all night long
Now you come in a-kissing on me, it happens every time

So don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay up and all the town can see what you confined
'Cause if you want that kind of love, well, you don't need none of mine

And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
