It was always you and me and him   A whiskey sour, beer and gin   We were having fun   When the night was over   You'd go off together leaving me alone,   All alone   I stayed up every night, I had to find a way   I had to get to you   So I told you he was stepping outside   I said when you broke down and cried   Why don't you come to me         * she said I love you like a brother   And that's how it's got to stay   Because I don't need no reminder   Of the love that went away   And the more I desire,   The less it does inspire   Because she says I remind her   Of the love she left behind         I found myself in the same old place   In the bar, another lonely night to spend   But the first thing I saw when I walked in   Was my almost lover, and my ex best friend   She was drinking all alone   And he was on the telephone   They wouldn't look at me   I went outside, I wanted to cry   It's a lonely life, ain't what it used to be         (* repeat 2 times and fade)
