When I Drink Beer

When I drink beer I know what happens
I've seen it happen a hundred times before
I tell myself I'll just have a couple
And I'll have a couple and a couple more

By that 5th one I'm holding my phone
Looking through pictures of me and you
Then I sit there and stare at your number
Thinking I shouldn't but I always do

Ooohhh, you don't always answer
Oohh it's better if you don't
'Cause ooohh I can just keep drinking
Crawl in a cab and head back home

When you answer it gets messed up
'Cause you get dressed up and meet me here
I know it's only 'cause you're lonely
But that don't matter when I drink beer

Ooohhh layin' there beside you
Ooohh I know it's gonna hurt
'Cause ooohh there ain't nothing better

Than holding you but there ain't nothing worse
When I wake up and that bed is empty
That pain will hit me 'cause you ain't there
I still want you and I can't have you

And if I can't have you, I just want a beer
Right now, I'm thirsty for a cold one
As much as I want one, I'm steering clear
'Cause I'm still hurting from the last time
And i'ts been a long time since I drank beer

So I'll take water or maybe Coca-Cola
'Cause I know what happens when I drink beer
