I don't
know which of these came first
A woman with unfaithful ways
Or the man with a thirst
All I know's I've got
them both tonight
And they've brought me, like they always
do to these old familiar lies for the wine one more
time let me wash out my mind once again
baby's gone and the warning is strong
and the pain's set dead
it's not fair when you care and her
love isn't there at the time
So your fears and your tears lead you here to the
beer and the wine
I don't know why I'm
forced to choose
Between a woman I can't win and
a habit I can't lose
Both of them will surely bring me down
So here I am on the brightest street
in the darkest part of town
For the wine, one more time,
let me wash out my mind once again
Baby's gone, and the warning is strong,
and the pain's setting in
It's not fair when you care,
and our love isn't there half the time
So your fears and your tears lead you
here to the beer and the wine
For the wine, one more time,
let me wash out my mind once again
