Hope you don't mind if I pull up a seat
It's only Wednesday
But it's already shown it's shaping up to be a terrible week
Help me get over the hump, 'cause I can't do it alone
She put an end to my five-year streak
Bartender, bartender
Bartender
Never mind, thought I'd just ask if I could borrow a phone
I know it's useless,
'Cause I know if I called that I would only hear the dial tone
You'd see me fight off a frown, on the inside break down
It just keeps ringing, I know she's home
Bartender, bartender
Serve me up a little hope on the rocks
Might need a little help to drink it all down
I'm feeling helpless with my head in the stocks
While I'm waiting for the blade to come down
Don't you know that it's the only way
That I have found to get me through the day
Let me know if you know of another order
That could maybe make her want to stay
Bartender
Don't have a driver to get me home
And it's a problem that I'll have to get used to
If she decides she's gonna leave me alone
I didn't plan ahead, I never had to before
Now my mind is as blank as a stone
Won't you please let me stay a little longer
'Cause she's left me so weak in my bones
Bartender, bartender
Serve me up a little hope on the rocks
Might need a little help to drink it all down
I'm feeling helpless with my head in the stocks
While I'm waiting for the blade to come down
Don't you know that it's the only way
That I have found to get me through the day
Let me know if you know of another order
That could maybe make her want to stay
Bartender, I'll remember all our future dreams
Love mender, please send her back home to me
Grief ender, help me find a way to make her see
I won't surrender, I will defend her for eternity
Serve me up a little hope on the rocks
Might need a little help to drink it all down
I'm feeling helpless with my head in the stocks
While I'm waiting for the blade to come down
Don't you know that it's the only way
That I have found to get me through the day
Let me know if you know of another order
That could maybe make her want to stay
Bartender, I will remember
Bartender
Thank you for your time
I'm not sure if this helped too much
But I do appreciate you trying
As I stumble out the door like I've never done before
She is still all that's on my mind
Bartender, bartender
