I know what you’re thinking
I know I did you wrong
But I just got this feeling
Baby please hold on
The way we used to dance
We forgot the steps
We both lost our balance
Now I drink to forget
Whiskey and wine
Killing me shot at a time
You pour the liquor in the cup and then you swirl it around
Cause, you don’t remember if you’re up or you’re down (up or you’re down)
A temporary fix
Or moment’s elixir
Yeah and I will say
I put my hand up in the air and I won’t do it again, naw (put my hand)
Can’t promise it because I don’t pretend to know (to know what)
What the price I pay
Yeah yeah
Not a remedy for a thing and I will do it again, naw
Whiskey and wine
Killing me shot at a time
Whiskey and wine
Killing me shot at a time
