Let me make one clear You can buy me a beer, but you ain't taking me home No pick up lines, I came here tonight to shed a few tears on my own But sitting there across the room I couldn't help but notice you seemed a little down on your love too Yeah, my heart might be breaking But, this seat ain't takin' And you've got me thinkin' We should be drinkin' alone together Drownin' the pain is better With somebody else who got problems We ain't gonna solve 'em The misery loves company Tonight all I need is a stranger Lips with a whiskey chaser And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone Oh, we should be drinkin' alone (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) We should be drinkin' alone together (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) I don't know what she did to make you hurt like this But, I know just what to do It starts with a bottle of good Reposado And ends with a shooter or two Tomorrow when the sun comes up Tonight is the night that never was Baby, just forget my name Won't be your one and only But just 'cause we're lonely don't mean that we should We should be drinkin' alone together 'Cause drownin' the pain is better With somebody else who got problems We ain't gonna solve 'em But misery loves company Tonight all I need is a stranger Lips with a whiskey chaser And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone Oh, we should be drinkin' alone Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone (together) Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone (we should be drinking alone) Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone I'll pretend that I care Baby, pull up a chair We'll stay here 'til they make us go home We should be drinkin' alone (Oh, oh, oh) Oh, we should be drinkin' alone together Drownin' the pain is better With somebody else who got problems We ain't gonna solve 'em But misery loves company Tonight all I need is a stranger Lips with a whiskey chaser And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone Oh, we should be drinkin' alone Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone (together) Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone (we should be drinking alone) Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone (Oh, oh, oh) We should be drinkin' alone (Oh, oh, oh)
