Broken Hearted People

[Verse 1]

Broken-hearted people always seem to drink

Trying to drown those sorrows, it ain't as easy as you think

Living with a liar is a hard old way to go

Laughin' just to keep from crying ain't no way to grow old

[Chorus]

So take me to a barroom, driver

Set me on a stool

If I can't be her man

I'm damned if I'll be her fool

[Verse 2]

They say that whiskey ain't the best way, but then I ain't too smart

To think I just found out she was lying from the start

So if this is nothing but a bad joke looking for a laugh

Well, hold on to your lampshade, darling, 'cause I'm looking for a hat

[Chorus]

And you take me to a barroom, driver

Set me on a stool

If I can't be her man

I'm damned if I'll be her fool

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

So get this taxi moving because I have got no time to lose

And there's no time to be choosy, you know that any old bar will do

And I'm looking to get silly and I'm looking to get loose

And if that don't get it done, darling, I'll come looking for you

[Chorus]

Now take me to a barroom, driver

Set me on a stool

If I can't be her man

I'm damned if I'll be her fool

Take me to a barroom, driver

Set me on a stool

If I can't be her man

I'm damned if I'll be her fool
