lyrics

Oh there are those girls across the world
Who'll tie you into knots
And then there's cats who play with rats
and act like thats all they've got
And then there's me whos like a bee whose
gotten in a honey pot
And then theres wine and thats fine if that
is all you've got.

And the night time stars shine out
And they warn me we're in for a drought
And you might say i've had a little too much
But I tell you... there's no such thing

Cause I don't get drunk
I just drink
And I've never sunk
When you said i'd sink
And is it really so hard
for you to think?
That I don't get drunk dear,
I just drink.

Oh, there are a lot fo things about me
that you never really knew
And it is impolite to ask but you should never assume
And if I take a little sip well would it be ok?
Especially if I hold it well then what would you say?

And you know i'm getting a little bit tired
Of the way you're telling me to retire the bottle
When the evening is not done yet
And I tell you... there's no such thing

Cause I don't get drunk
I just drink
And I've never sunk
When you said i'd sink
And is it really so hard
for you to think?
That I don't get drunk dear,
I just get drinks.
