(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)

Cozy situations and careless conversations
Caused me to hide the married side of me
Drinkin' leads to thinkin' and thinkin' leads to cheatin'
I slipped around until you slipped from me.

Champagne ladies and blue ribbon babies
They tempted me but I met them half way
Champagne ladies and blue ribbon babies
Sweetheart what in the world came over me.

--- Instrumental ---

Mem'ries and martinis are mixed up every evenin'
In a honky tonk on Loser's Avenue
Long blond hair and blue eyes lonesome songs and soft lights
Darlin' I've got everything but you.

Champagne ladies and blue ribbon babies
They tempted me but I met them half way
Champagne ladies and blue ribbon babies
Sweetheart what in the world came over me...
