Once I lived the life of wine and roses
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
Success for me lay just around the corner
Thought my social friends would help me make the turn
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
ย
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
And I watched my social standing slip away from me
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
A victim of the drunken life I chose
Now all my social friends look down their noses
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
