Drinking For Two

I, I've been wasting away
I just took something to keep me awake
I moved to the city
Thinking maybe there's something for me
Years gone by
And I'm still in this place that I see

But I, I've been looking for you
But all can do
is keep drinking for two

Time seems like nothing to me
I sit in the bar and watch the strangers walk in from the street
Some are just waiting on lovers
And some are just down on their luck
Kathy's the whore at the table
That no one admits that they fuck

But she has a baby that's two
She needs money for food
So how can I refuse

I get my relief
The encounter was brief
I sneak out like a thief
And she wants me to stay
I leave anyway
I've got nothing to say

Today I learned nothing new
Of all of the men in the world
you had yourself more than a few
That's okay I've taken many a woman to bed
Sometimes I play with their minds
sometimes they get in my head

And now Kathy says that we're through
She won't take my abuse
So I'm drinking for two

Now some time has gone by
I walk in the bar
And the whore at the table catches my eye
She hasn't found work as of yet
And tomorrow the rent check is due
Her dirty blond hair hasn't been
Washed in a day maybe two

And I, I get my relief
This time I don't leave
She's got something I need
And now, after all we've been through
I can say that it's true
I've been drinking for you
