Ringo Starr Lyrics

Album: Beaucoups of Blues

Wine, Women And Loud Happy Songs Lyrics

By Larry Kingston

 

LOOK AT ME NOW, AIN'T I A SIGHT?

EYES BLOODY RED, FACE PUFFY WHITE.

HAIR TANGLED UP AND WRINKLED OLD CLOTHES,

I'M A LIVING EXAMPLE OF A BIG OVERDOSE OF:


WINE, WOMEN AND LOUD HAPPY SONGS,

I HAD ALL THREE BUT NONE LASTED LONG.

THE WOMEN RAN OFF, I DRANK ALL THE WINE

AND THE SONGS DIED AWAY WHEN I RAN OUT OF DIMES.


IT'S STRANGE HOW THE WINE WORKS ON A FOOL,

IT SEEPS THROUGH HIS MIND,

LEAVES HIM GLUED TO THE STOOL.

WOMEN LEAVE YOU WISHING YOU'D JUST NEVER BEEN

BUT THE SONGS MAKES YOU HAPPY,

SOON YOU'RE SEARCHING AGAIN FOR:


WINE, WOMEN AND LOUD HAPPY SONGS,

I HAD ALL THREE BUT NONE LASTED LONG.

THE WOMEN RAN OFF, I DRANK ALL THE WINE

AND THE SONGS DIED AWAY WHEN I RAN OUT OF DIMES.
