Burning The Candle At Both Ends Lyrics

She won Miss Swimsuit 1990

Now she plays with hearts like tinker toys

But the bottle wants to dry her looks up

And turn her skin to corduroy

Rumor has it that she married a cutie

A hard-working hometown boy

But she ran around and she lost her way

Now she's found herself some liquid joy

She'll be there tonight stuck to the bar

After they've packed up the last guitar

She's the life of the party - she's your lifelong friend

She's burning the candle at both ends

Burning the candle at both ends

She has an every ready smile and she'll use it

To get you to stay all night

When the bartender starts to clean up

She starts to get a bit uptight

Try to pick her up she won't refuse it

But you'll wind up in the lost and found

While she takes her place at the Dew Drop Inn

For another night of empty rounds

She'll be there tonight stuck to the bar

After they've packed up the last guitar

She's the life of the party - she's your lifelong friend

She's burning the candle at both ends

Burning the candle at both ends

There's a faded memory

That flickers through her night

Love can take her home again

But until she sees the light

Ahhhhhhhh

She'll be there tonight stuck to the bar

After they've packed up the last guitar

She's the life of the party, she's your lifelong friend

She's burning the candle at both ends

Burning the candle at both ends

Burning the candle at both ends

She's burning the candle at both ends
