I walked, all the way back home, cause you left me standing there all alone
With that Jack Daniels smell, and hurtful tone
I don't know, what I was thinking; you know how I get when I been drinking
I'm a master of rogue charm, and sardonic wit
Well, sometimes, baby, I wonder how love's gonna last
Won't you tell me, now, sugar, won't you tell me how love's supposed to last
When you, talk down to me, like some little boy sitting on your knee
With your know-it-all ways, and "Mama told you so" voice
I don't know, what you were thinking; talking to your man that way
But you never really cared all that much, 'bout what I had to say
Well, sometimes, baby, I wonder how love's gonna last
Won't you tell me, now, sugar, won't you tell me how love's supposed to last
Well, I got me, another girlfriend, and you got yourself another man
But it's playin' itself out the same way, all over again
But I know, what you've been thinking, from my years of experience
Oh, why can't he just do things the way, that I want him to do
Well, sometimes, baby, I wonder how love's gonna last
Won't you tell me, now, sugar, won't you tell me how love's supposed to last
