Love on the Rocks
by Marie & CJ

Hey, bartender, set me up

Give me a glass

Inside the ice clinks

Why don't you

Go ahead and

Leave the bottle

It's gonna be

A long night.

I listen to the waves

on the shore

and a marimba band plays

soft and low

I ask you to dance

We hold each other close

The ice is melted

We drink it straight up

The dark, spiced liquid

Glosses my lips;

I think it

Must be a dream

And I'm content

To drown in my sorrows

For me there's no tomorrow

Love has flown and I

Doubt it will

Ever come to me again

I raise my glass in salute --

A toast -- to

A fool flirting, admiring me,

With longing, wanting, needing eyes

Across the smoky room

I can't believe

What I see

How could you want me?

I don't think

We'd get very far

Cuz I've had

A drink too many and

A heartache too many

So far the

Only thing that

Has dulled the pain

Is this drink

In my hand

Could you be

The man who

Makes that change?

Could you be the man

Who makes me

Want to follow

My heart again?

When the dance began

I couldn’t keep my head

and now I couldn’t keep your

heartache from making me sad

but the drinks were adding up

and love was on the rocks

Didn’t know I’d hold you

and make you fall

into my arms

The dance floor rolled

and we held tight

until the ice melted

and the whiskey was talking

in my heart again

I guess we were both afraid

of what we’d find

or if this were real

would we follow it

where ever it may lead

just hold on if you wanta go

On and on

Beyond last call for alcohol

They say you

Can't find love

In a bar

I don't know about that

I pull on the bartender's sleeve

Check please

On the other hand

Just put it on my tab.
