Lyrics

Takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
She wants to tell me where to go, tell me what to do
Tell me what to eat and how loud I can chew
She even wants to tell me what thoughts I oughta think
It used to drive me crazy 'til it drove me to drink
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
She's such a pretty thing, you'd think she's heaven sent
But she's the quarrelsome kind, she likes an argument
She can scream all day, she can scream all night
I just sit there and smilin', high as a kite
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
This drinking buddy of mine, he married this girl
Now he thinks that she's the meanest woman in the world
I saw her pretty picture, and I said, "Your pokin' fun"
But then the day I met her, I said, "Pour me one"
Takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
Now you may look down your nose at me
And think that I'm a sorry old S-O-B
But the only way I'm giving up my drinking glass
If I can find a better way to get her off my back
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
Well, my little brown jug up to my lips
You're saving our love with every sip
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
Well every time when I get sober
She drives me out of my mind
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up I like her just fine
Yeah, when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
When I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
