A thousand rings, just to hear your voice

is it me or him, your love, your choice

 

just pick up the phone, and say it ain't true

I heard from another, that we were through

 

hello you said, I said the same

I heard his laugh, you called his name

 

so it's him not me, no guilt, no shame

it's not you, or him, who bears the blame

 

I quit the booze, I tried like hell

but each time I did, I stumbled and fell

 

this time I mean it, you've got to believe 

I swear to God, just wait, you'll see

 

I followed my heart to the heavens above

I searched for you, I searched for love

 

just a few shots and an ice cold brew

if it weren't for the liquor, I'd still have you

 

a thousand rings, I heard your choice

but not your words, just another voice

 

you made up your mind, you dropped me flat

if that's want you want, I'll drink to that
