Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wouldn't it be fine if you could say you love me just one time?
With a sober mind, wouldn't that be fine?
Now wouldn't that be fine?
Wouldn't it be great if you could love me first and let the bottle wait?
Wouldn't that be great?
Now wouldn't that be great?
[Verse 2]
Wouldn't it be great, wouldn't that be great?
Throw the old glass crutch away and watch it break
Wouldn't it be great, wouldn't that be great?
Lord, it's for our sake, now wouldn't that be great?
[Verse 3]
In the name of love what's a man so great keep thinking of
What a man he was
In the name of love
In the name of love
Love went to waste when the sexy lace wouldn't turn his face
The bottle took my place
Love went to waste
[Verse 4]
Wouldn't it be great, wouldn't that be great?
Throw the old glass crutch away and watch it break
Wouldn't it be great, wouldn't that be great?
Lord, it's for our sake, now wouldn't that be great?
[Verse 5]
Wouldn't it be good and I know you could if you just would
Wouldn't that be good and you know he should
[Verse 6]
Wouldn't it be great, wouldn't that be great?
Throw the old glass crutch away and watch it break
Wouldn't it be great, wouldn't that be great?
Lord, it's for our sake, now wouldn't that be great?
[Verse 7]
Lord, it's for our sake
Now wouldn't that be great?
