Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 2]
I'ma need someone to help me
I'ma need somebody's hand
I'ma need someone to hold me down
I'ma need someone to care
[Verse 3]
I'ma writhe and shake my body
I start pulling out my hair
I'ma cover myself with ashes of you
And nobody's gonna give a damn
[Verse 4]
Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Out all night
That can't be me
Son of a bitch
I can't get clean
I'ma drink my life away
[Verse 5]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, mm
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 6]
Now for seventeen years I've been throwing them back
Seventeen more will bury me
Can somebody please just tie me down
Or somebody give me a goddamn drink?
[Verse 7]
Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Out all night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away
[Verse 8]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, come on bring it down real quiet
[Verse 9]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, come on
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, keep it going
[Verse 10]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 11]
My heart was aching
Hands were shaking
Bugs are crawling all over me
[Verse 12]
My heart was aching
Hands were shaking
Bugs are crawling all over me
[Verse 13]
My heart was aching
Hands were shaking
Bugs are crawling all over me
[Verse 14]
My heart was aching
Hands were shaking
Bugs are crawling all over me
[Verse 15]
I had an aching
Hands were shaking
Bugs are crawling all over me
[Verse 16]
(My heart is aching)
(Hands are shaking)
(Bugs are crawling all over me)
[Verse 17]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 18]
Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Out all night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away
Hey, hey
[Verse 19]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
