Bonus Track from "More Songs About Girls" recorded 1990

lyrics

See you stand and watch the band with your new man
The one who looks at me like I'm a fool
Didn't take you long to replace me with
Someone so much more into "cool"

Now please don't ask me how I'm doing
Just because you want to seem polite
Somehow I'm just not in the mood to humor you
Even though you're on my mind tonight

Don't you ever wonder what I'm up to
Ever since you met your someone new
Things we did together I now do alone
Tonight I'm drunk because of you

I've grown used to waking up in afternoons
Sitting still until my headache ends
George Jones and cable television
Since you've gone I've had to make new friends

Don't you ever wonder what I'm up to
Ever since you met your someone new
Things we did together I now do alone
Tonight I'm drunk because of you

Why don't you tell me that you used to,
tell me that you used to, we could still be friends

Why don't you tell me that you love me,
That you still think of me, lie to me again

Last call now laugh and leave with your new man
I stumble off and go pass out half dead
If life was fair you'd be hungover
Cuz all of this is on your head

Don't you ever wonder what I'm up to
Ever since you met your someone new
Things we did together I now do alone
Tonight I'm drunk because of you
Tonight I'm drunk because of you. It's true.
