What yaÂ’ doinÂ’ sittinÂ’ here With closinÂ’ time so near
Looks like you need a friend So I will volunteer
Looks like youÂ’re in a world of trouble Only one thing it could be
YaÂ’ gotta get a grip on it mister This is not the remedy and
It wonÂ’t bring her back And it wonÂ’t stop the pain
And it wonÂ’t make you feel any better soon
Keep drinkinÂ’ that old Jack YouÂ’re gonna end up under a train
You can lay down on the railroad track
But it wonÂ’t bring your baby back It wonÂ’ t bring her back
You know itÂ’s no disgrace To try and save some face
I did that very thing When I was in your place
IÂ’m speakinÂ’ from experience I knew the lady first
ItÂ’s hard work forgettinÂ’ baby You can work up quite a thirst but
DrinkinÂ’ is the worst
It wonÂ’t bring her back To go out rasinÂ’ Cain
And you wonÂ’t find the answer in a cigarette
You can smoke the whole damn pack Create a never ending chain
You can buy yourself a heart attack but it wonÂ’t bring your baby back
It wonÂ’t bring her back
It wonÂ’t bring her back To drive yourself insane
SheÂ’s already busy with some other fool
Why donÂ’t you cut yourself some slack Cause the truth is all in vain
You can carry on like a maniac But it wonÂ’t bring your baby back
It wonÂ’t bring your baby back It wonÂ’t bring your baby back
