  VERSE ONE
  Alchohol,  my  permanent accessory
  Alchohol,  a party  time necessity
  Alchohol,  alternative to feeling like yourself
  Oh, alchohol,  I still drink to your health
  CHORUS
  I love  you  more than I did  the week before I discovered alchohol
  VERSE TWO
  Forget  the  cafe  latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
  A  Malibu and  Coke for you, a G. and T. for me
  Alchohol,  your songs resolve like my life never will
  When  someone else  is picking up the bill
 as above)
  Oh,  alchohol,  would you please forgive me?
  For while  I  cannot  love myself, I'll use something else
  BRIDGE
  I thought  that  alchohol  was just for those with nothing else to do
  I thought  that  drinking  just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze
  But  now  I  know  that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose
  To  walk  the  fine line between self control and self abuse
 
 as above)
  Would  you please  ignore that you found me on the floor
  trying  on your camisole?
  Oh,  alchohol, would  you please forgive me, for while I cannot love myself
  I'll  use something else
