Drinking For Two Lyrics

I, I've been wasting away

I just took something to keep me awake

I moved to the city

Thinking maybe there's something for me

Years gone by

And I'm still in this place that I see

But I, I've been looking for you

But all can do

is keep drinking for two

Time seems like nothing to me

I sit in the bar and watch the strangers walk in from the street

Some are just waiting on lovers

And some are just down on their luck

Kathy's the whore at the table

That no one admits that they fuck

But she has a baby that's two

She needs money for food

So how can I refuse

I get my relief

The encounter was brief

I sneak out like a thief

And she wants me to stay

I leave anyway

I've got nothing to say

Today I learned nothing new

Of all of the men in the world

you had yourself more than a few

That's okay I've taken many a woman to bed

Sometimes I play with their minds

sometimes they get in my head

And now Kathy says that we're through

She won't take my abuse

So I'm drinking for two

Now some time has gone by

I walk in the bar

And the whore at the table catches my eye

She hasn't found work as of yet

And tomorrow the rent check is due

Her dirty blond hair hasn't been

Washed in a day maybe two

And I, I get my relief

This time I don't leave

She's got something I need

And now, after all we've been through

I can say that it's true

I've been drinking for you
