Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Let me make one thing clear, you can buy me a beer
But you ain't takin' me home
No pick-up lines, I came here tonight
To shed a few tears on my own
But sittin' there across the room, I couldn't help but notice you
Seem a little down on your luck, so
Yeah, my heart might be breakin' but this seat ain't taken
And you got me thinkin'
[Chorus]
We should be drinking alone together
Drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems
We ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight, all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss
To make me forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinking alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We should be drinking alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Together
[Verse 2]
I don't know what she did to make you hurt like this
But I know just what to do
It starts with a bottle of good Reposado
And ends with a shooter or two
Tomorrow when the sun comes up, tonight's the night that never was
Baby, just forget my name
Won't be your one and only, but just 'cause we're lonely
Don't mean that we should
[Chorus]
We should be drinking alone
'Cause drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems
We ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss
To make me forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinking alone (Drinking alone, drinking alone)
Together (Baby, we shouldn't be drinking alone)
We should be drinking alone (Drinking alone, drinking alone, baby, we shouldn't be drinking alone)
[Bridge]
I'll pretend that I care, baby, pull up a chair
We'll stay here till they make us go home
We should be drinking alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Oh, we should be drinking alone together
Drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems
We ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss
To make me forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinking alone (Drinking alone, drinking alone)
Together (Baby, we shouldn't be drinking alone)
We should be drinking alone (Drinking alone, drinking alone, baby, we shouldn't be drinking alone)
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
We should be drinking alone
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
