I Only had One Minute Left on my calling card
I was half way around the world and it was raining really hard
I only had a couple of aspirin and a half a can of beer
So I swallowed it down for courage but it was still pretty hard to hear
Cause I only had Three words That I wanted to tell you
But it would be easier if you were here and I could smell you
Words are fallin' out I know
They drift they pass they melt like snow
And I know I may be a flake, I scrape my knees and make mistakes
And I may lose but mostly win, Sometimes I get soaked in sin
But I fall right back into your arms again
So I ordered four Pints of Guiness and I set them on a trunk
I had a long conversaaion with a hopeless drunk
And I only had five tickets and six new friends
One of them Had a hissy fit and drove off in her Mercedes Benz

So we played seven card stud, and I had a royal flush
And I took out your picture and I started to blush
Cause I only had eight lives, most cats got nine
So I skipped out on bungee jumping, Just this time (just this time)
Because I only had ten chances, to say I love you
