Put Down the Drink Lyrics by Emphatic

Damage (Deluxe Version)

2012

[Intro: Patrick Michael Wilson]
Baby, put down the drink
And baby, put down the bottle
You're startin' to sink
And when you're down on your knees, it's so hard to swallow
Aah-aahaah-aahaah-aah-aah
Aah-aahaah-aahaah-aah-aah

[Verse 1: Patrick Michael Wilson]
Your heart is beatin' like a loaded gun
What's done is done, and you're spinnin' in circles
Where's the girl that I used to know?
Why did you let her go?
You know I loved her so!

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Michael Wilson]
It's never any more than one for me
But always two or three for you

[Chorus 1: Patrick Michael Wilson]
Baby, put down the drink! (Oh-ho)
And baby, put down the bottle! (Whoa-oh)
You're startin' to sink (Oh)
And when you're down on your knees, it's so hard to swallow

[Verse 2: Patrick Michael Wilson]
I don't wanna see you go this way
Feelin' like tomorrow's just a yesterday
I hate the way it is, and to tell you the truth
It's killin' me and it's killin' you!
I can't stand all the ups and downs!
The backin' force and the round and round!
The in and outs of the slammin' doors
It's tearin' me apart I can't take no more!

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Michael Wilson]
It's never any more than one for me
But always two or three for you

[Chorus 2: Patrick Michael Wilson]
Baby, put down the drink! (Oh-ho)
And baby, put down the bottle! (Whoa-oh)
You're startin' to sink (Oh)
And when you're down on your knees, yeah it's so hard to swallow
I want us back like we were before
Not like the broken glass lyin' on the floor (Baby Put Down the Drink!)
Put down the drink!
And baby, put down the bottle!
Put down the bottle!

[Bridge: Patrick Michael Wilson]
It feels like it's all slippin' away I wish I had you like it has you (Oh)
It feels like it's all slippin' away I wish I had you!

[Guitar Solo: Justin McCain]

[Chorus 3: Patrick Michael Wilson]
Baby, put down the drink!
And baby, put down the bottle!
You're startin' to sink
And you get high when you're down, but I'm watchin' you fall!

[Chorus 4: Patrick Michael Wilson]
So baby, put down the drink! (Oh-ho)
And baby, put down the bottle! (Whoa-oh)
You're startin' to sink! (Oh)
And when you're down on your knees, yeah it's so hard to swallow!
I want us back like we were before
Not like the broken glass lyin' on the floor (Baby, put down the drink!)
Oh, put down the bottle! (When you're down on your knees, yeah it's so hard to swallow!)
Put down the drink! (Swallow)
Put down the bottle!

[Outro: Patrick Michael Wilson]
Your heart is beatin' like a loaded gun
What's done is done, and you're spinnin' in circles
