"Love On The Rocks" lyrics

Love On The Rocks

Excuse me, bartender
Do you remember
How to mix love on the rocks?
Well, I learned how to make it
From someone that I really
Loved a lot

It only takes two people
And the love that's gone bad
To make the drink
That makes you think
You could never be so sad

Take one affair with her best friend
Then slowly mix it in
Add a gallon of teardrops
Then chill with two cold hearts
Don't forget to stir and strain
And season with some pain
If your heartache never stops
You've mixed yourself a love on the rocks

Barkeep, in your defence
You don't have the ingredients
That it takes to make this recipe
So if somebody wants it
You'll just have to send them here to me

I'm more or less an expert
I've mixed up one or two
If you want to taste the big heartache
This is what you do

Take one affair with her best friend
Then slowly mix it in
Add a gallon of teardrops
Then chill with two cold hearts
Don't forget to stir and strain
And season with some pain
If your heartache never stops
You've mixed yourself a love on the rocks

If your heartache never stops
You've mixed yourself a love on the rocks
