i read all the books, i bought a sexy nightgown
i fed your baby, i whittled all our debt down
and you were drunk

i did your dishes, i never let myself go
i kept your baby clean, i bought his toys and all his clothes
and you were drunk

denial must be a man's best friend
'cause that's the state of mind you're always in
this is a game i cannot win, i'm leaving
and you're stayin' drunk

i had the oil changed, i kept my lipstick on
i bought the groceries, four years have come and gone
and you were drunk

denial must be a man's best friend
'cause that's the state of mind you're always in
this is a game i cannot win, i'm leaving
and you're stayin' drunk

my daddy loved you like a son
'cause i kept your secret from everyone

denial must be a man's best friend
'cause that's the state of mind you're always in
this is a game i cannot win, i'm leaving
and you're stayin' drunk
