Hello, my name is Ishmael
Forget the one about the whale
I'll tell you of a broken-hearted sailor
Maggie took my loyalty
I treated her like royalty
What started with such promise ends in failure
Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone
And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home
And I think here I'm better off alone
But I've been thinking too much, I better go home
All hail the queen of cruelty
She has duly been anointed
These final words her majesty had to say
"He who expects nothing never will be disappointed"
Nothing's what she left me, so I guess I'm okay
Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone
And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home
And I think here we all stand alone
But I've been thinking too much, I better go home
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
A promise made to a tab unpaid
It's home, I wade to my bed unmade
A fool to think that I could ever change her
A king upon my barstool throne
I vow to never drink alone
I only drink with friends or total strangers
We're all broken-hearted here
We're all broken-hearted here
We're all broken-hearted here
We're all broken
Oh, my love, I can't stand to be alone
And I've been drinkin' too much, I better go home
And I think here we all stand alone
But I've been thinking too much, I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
I better go home
