Borderline

[Verse 1]

It's midnight in the big city

At the bar, drinkin' all on my own

Just thinking about that girl and me

How something's goin' wrong

Mister, tell me

What's my savin' grace?

The back room boys are all tellin' me

I'm a borderline case

[Chorus]

Back on the borderline, one more time

Back on the borderline, one more time

[Verse 2]

Seven beers and still sober

It's time to change to somethin' stronger

I cannot take this scene no longer

She could have told me it's all over

Back in my hometown

The old place, it's still the same

But time can cast a spell over something

And you can't go back again

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Back on the borderline, one more time

Back on the borderline, one more time

[Verse 3]

Mister, fill me another

Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around

Just pass that bottle one more time

And slowly sink it down

Jeanie, can I tell you

The shame of my disgrace?

It's just love or rejection

For this borderline case

[Chorus]

Back on the borderline, one more time

Back on the borderline, one more time

[Outro]

(Back on the borderline) I'm on my hands and knees, I'm crawlin'

I'm beggin' you, darlin'

One more time

Back on the borderline, one more time (One more time)

(Back on the borderline) I know the risk you're takin'

But please don't leave me forsaken

One more time

Back on the borderline, one more time (One more time)
