Every day I tell myself it's temporary
That it's only 'cause she's young
That makes her want another man
Even though she makes me feel unecessary
I've found a way to help me understand
I've got this drinking thing
To keep from thinkin' things
'Bout where you been,
who you been with
What you've done
And it's a lonely thing
But it's the only thing
To keep a foolish man in love hanging on
If I wait up at home I'll only ask her questions
