She's About as Lonely as I'm Going to Let Her Get

Oh, off across the room, she sits alone...
Pretty as a picture, sadder than a sad song.
Well, I'll do whatever it takes, try whatever works.
I can't just sit here and watch her hurt.

While she's so sad, while Mr Right did her wrong,
I'll give her one more drink an' a few more songs.
In the bar-room haze, all alone, she sits.
Oh, she's about as lonely as I'm gonna let her get.

Oh, sittin' lonely at the bar tryin' to drown the past.
Starin' at her broken heart at the bottom of a glass.
Oh, I don't want to push it, but I can't take much more.
Think I'm gonna have to step up an' show heartache to the door.

While she's so sad, while Mr Right did her wrong,
I'll give her one more drink an' a few more songs.
In the bar-room haze, all alone, she sits.
Yeah, she's about as lonely as I'm gonna let her get.

[Instrumental break]

While she's so sad, while Mr Right did her wrong,
I'll give her one more drink an' a few more songs.
In the bar-room haze, all alone, she sits.
Yeah, she's about as lonely,
Yeah, she's about as lonely as I'm gonna let her get.

Oh, my, my.
