She was visiting a cousin or someone   I'm with the only friend that I could find   She's just as close as that pay phone   I'll call collect, she won't mind      I'll make fun of her ex-boyfriend   I'll ask her what she wants to name our kids   She'll tell me she can't live without me   I'll call her Nancy until she calls me Sid      Nothing really matters   Everything reminds me of   The fact that nothing matters   When you're drunk and in love   Drunk and in love      Spent my last dollar on this silk purse in Chinatown   It's got this picture of a pumpkin   I don't even know if she'll like it, it doesn't matter   I just want to give her something      All the dead doves in the windows   Are croaking out my happy song   All the junkies wiping windshields   They can't help but sing along      Nothing really matters   Everything reminds me of   The fact that nothing matters   When you're drunk and in love   Drunk and in love      She's asleep in some other timezone   I'm with a friend who wonders where I've been   I want to tell her why she's so amazing   She's not here so I'll just tell him      I'll tell her how much I really miss her   I'll ask her if she's wearing any clothes   I'll ask her what she'd do if I died tomorrow   I'll make her tell me something no one knows      I'll tell her all about the silk purse    That was going to be a surprise   Tell her what I want for Christmas   I'll sing a song about her eyes      Nothing really matters   Everything reminds me of   The fact that nothing matters   When you're drunk and in love   Drunk and in love
