DRUNK DIALIN’ (take 2) Lol!

V1

Out at Betty’s Bar an’ Grill

Puttin’ a good one on

Lookin’ the divas tonight

Lookin’ to have fun

Dancin’ with your girlfriends

Hopin’ you’ll catch his eye

But he’s busy playin’ pool

Ya’d rather be with Bob, besides, and

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Suddenly, you miss him

Last call, three a.m.

Now, stumblin’ home alone

Drunk dialin’ again

 

[Chorus]

Drunk dialin’

Drunk dialin’

Feels good at the moment

Feels bad the next mornin’

Drunk dialin’

Drunk dialin’

Your heart put you up to it

Your brain wishes ya’d never done it

 

V2

Now, you’re grocery shoppin’

Catch him the corner of your eye

Bob is lookin’ better than ever

Hide from him, you try

‘Cuz you know that he knows

The pathetic message you left

And you can’t take it back

All you feel is bereft

 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And suddenly, you hate yourself

Wantin’ to disappear

But once you get a taste for it

You no longer care

 

[Chorus]

Drunk dialin’

Drunk dialin’

Feels good at the moment

Feels bad the next mornin’

Drunk dialin’

Drunk dialin’

Your heart put you up to it

Your brain wishes ya’d never done it

 

V3

Not that we’ve all done it

But I’ve done it, too

My ninth-grade teacher, Mr. Kane

It was all I could do

He’d drive by in his yellow Bug

As I was walkin’ home from school

God, how I wished he’d give me a ride

Drunk-dialin’ was my tool

 

[Music]

 

[Chorus]

Drunk dialin’

Drunk dialin’

Feels good at the moment

Feels bad the next mornin’

Drunk dialin’

Drunk dialin’

Your heart put you up to it

Your brain wishes ya’d never done it!

    I like this one a lot. My only real comment is in the chorus, I feel like there's a punchier way of saying:

    Feels good at the moment

    Feels bad the next mornin'


    You used "hate yourself" in one of the pre-chorus, and I kind of like the idea of using that in the chorus itself, so something like:

    Great idea at the moment

    Hate yourself the next mornin'

  • @schmalex I'll consider it! Thanks again!
