(Charlie Rich)

(Please baby wait for me, wait for me, wait for me.)

I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin
And I had a fight with my best girl friend
But when I'm drinkin'… I am nobody's friend
But, please baby wait for me until they let me out again.

I know the same thing has happened before
And every time it does I hate it more and more
But when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend.
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again.

Spend a whole lot of time sittin' and thinkin'
Sittin' and just thinkin' 'bout you
Well if I didn't spend so much time sittin' and drinkin'
We'd still have the love that we once knew.

Oh, I won't promise the same thing won't happen again
But I can promise it'll be a long, long time till then
'Cause when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend
But, please baby, wait for me until they let me out again.

Please baby, wait for me until they let me out again...
