It's tearing in the place where my heart once stood

and missing you baby ain't doing me good

It's gnawing and gnashing like teeth in my head

and there's times in the night I'd feel better off dead.

So I am over you tell me what good does it do

Cuz I'm drunk and drinking at Hattie's at a quarter to two

Cuz I'm over you.

He's serving you drinks he's dishing up smiles

When it's bar time baby those minutes mean miles

Well he's a watchdog girl don't you understand

That while he's barking up your tree the boy's got new plans.

So I am over you tell me what good does it do

Cuz I'm drunk and drinking at Hattie's at quarter to two

So I am over you tell me what good does it bring Cuz I'm over you, and you're over me

When we look at the truth, it's ugly we see.

When I read to you baby from the book that you wrote

I got a choked up feeling in the back of my throat

Was it a love sick virus or the knot in my noose

You say your backpack's heavy bitch set the bricks loose.

So I am over you tell me what good does it do

Cuz I'm drunk and drinking at Hattie's at a quarter to two

So I am over you tell me what good does it bring

I empty the bottles, I fill up the ashtrays and sing.
