Just One Drink Lyrics

You drink water, I drink gasoline
One of us is happy, one of us is mean
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?

Just one drink gets me closer
Just one drink, it rolls you over
Then I start to think you're growing colder
The older and older I am

I watch TV, you watch the ceiling
And when you turn over I get a funny feeling
I should grab myrock and rye and pop the top until the time my baby comes clean
Yeah, I should grab my rock and rye and pop the top until the time my baby comes clean

Just one sin and then you show me
You bust your lip, I want spottieottie
So come and take a trip if you want to know me
Put a fork in the road with me

Just one drink, it gets me closer
Just one drink, it rolls you over
Then I start to think you're growing colder
The older and older I am

You drink water and I drink gasoline
One of us is happy, the other one is mean
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?

One of us is happy, one of us is mean
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?

Just one drink gets me closer
Just one drink, it rolls you over
Then I start to think you're growing colder
The older and older I am

I watch TV, you watch the ceiling
And when you turn over I get a funny feeling
I should grab myrock and rye and pop the top until the time my baby comes clean
Yeah, I should grab my rock and rye and pop the top until the time my baby comes clean

So come and take a trip if you want to know me
Put a fork in the road with me

Just one drink, it gets me closer
Just one drink, it rolls you over
Then I start to think you're growing colder
The older and older I am

You drink water and I drink gasoline
One of us is happy, the other one is mean
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?
I love you, honey, why don't you love me?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
