Late Night Call

This emptiness I feel inside
You're messing with the man and his no good pride
And I can't hide
this disappointment

If I knew then what I know now
I'd tell myself that I would not allow
Or show you how
much I miss ya baby

And when I make a late night call
with a drink in hand
Please let it ring right off the wall
and try to understand
It's not me, it's the alcohol
and I just hadn't planned
To give you a call at all
but I just can't stand

Like her, the bottle let me down
And let me know that I need her around
And I have found
how much I miss you

??? was so hard to find
Just can't seem to drink you off my mind
And now I find
how much I miss ya baby

And when I make a late night call
with a drink in hand
Please let it ring right off the wall
and try to understand
It's not me, it's the alcohol
and I just hadn't planned
To give you a call at all
but I just can't stand
Just can't, just can't, just can't stand
Just can't, just can't, just can't stand
Bottle in hand
Just can't stand
