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'
