How many drinks is it gonna’ take
To get her outta’ your head just one more
At least that’s what you tell yourself
When you hear that voice you can’t ignore

I’ve loved and lost I been down a time or two
Well I know just what you’re going through

And you’ll start drinking again when you’re thinking of them
You’ll get you a bottle and go full throttle
How many drinks is it gonna take one more and then another
To wash away the memory of a lover

How many nights will you lie awake
Before that pain is finally gone away
You know you can’t have a rainbow
Without a little rain

Win some and lose some everybody plays the game
In the end it’s all the same

And you’ll start drinking again when you’re thinking of them
You’ll get you a bottle and go full throttle
How many drinks is it gonna take one more and then another
To wash away the memory of a lover

You ain’t the first one and you sure won’t be the last
To get his heart broke open wide
What don’t kill you can only make you stronger
And that much tougher for the next time
