Won't you draw the curtain back
I don't want you to see all that
I'm in a bad way now
I've done too much thinking
And it always leads to drinking
I'm clothes on in the shower sitting down
I can't get clean
I can't get sober
I'm a drunk who can't get over
But if you'll play your cards right
I will let you down tonight
Oh, Maryanne
I could be your man
If I could see straight
I don't have a plan
Oh, but Maryanne
Tell me that I'm not too late
I never meant to get this way
Just trying to keep the dogs at bay
Look who's barking now
I suffer this affliction
An old family tradition
Can't seem to keep that devil down
I can't get clean
I can't get sober
I'm a drunk who can't get over
If you'll play your cards right
I will let you down tonight
Oh, Maryanne
I could be your man
If I could see straight
I don't have a plan
Oh, but Maryanne
Tell me that I'm not too late
Oh, Maryanne
I could be your man
If I could see straight
I don't have a plan
Oh, but Maryanne
Tell me that I'm not too late
