In a bar, don't the girls all get prettier
The men around them getting hornier
Trying to have a night not to remember
Of love for free, but never tender
Waking up beside her in the morning
And wondering how it came this far....

No strings attached, just a one-night stand
His only hope, she'll understand
That this wasn't love to last
Just trying to forget a love of the past
A love still not grown cold after all these years
And her lovely voice still ringing in his ears

A great Love he is trying to forget
And his heart and mind so full of regret
For the way he treated her so bad
It still makes him so deeply sad
Makes him regret the way he treated her
Broke her heart, didn't even care

Now it's the bottle he's in love with
But it can't make him forget it
How cruel he has been
To a love so true and keen
Which could be his to eternity
Now it looks as if ther's no mercy

For a man playing with her heart
Hurtin' her feelings, he can only fall apart
How could their love melt like the snow
How it came this far, only he will know
If only he could leave the smoke and booze behind
Go up to her and promise her to be kind
Then maybe she would take him back so fast
And then their love might forever last...
