Another battle with the bottle
And this time I won’t lose
I sip this bottle of vodka
Stopping when I choose
I’m not an alcoholic
I can control what I take in
If people all around me
give me a chance,
I can win..
I know I can beat the bottle
And yes,
I’ve paid my way
It’s temptation calling
I’m gonna win
tonight
ok?
I’m not an alcoholic
People take me
for who I am
I can beat this demon
I’ll just take
another dram.
I’m not an alcoholic
I swear to you I’m not
But this bottle
I have before me
Is the only one I got.
I can always stop
tomorrow,
In fact,
will start my battle then.
But until tomorrow’s
calling
I’ll just take one more
drink again.
