From the recording All I’ll Miss About Dallas Is You

Lyrics

VERSE
You’d say you’d had gin and vermouth
If you’d had a frou frou mai tai
You don’t even get close to the truth
When it hurts you more to tell lies
But it’s your unfaithfulness that haunts me
That bleeds me, that hurts me through and through
Why must you lie to me so flagrantly?
Why must you make me, oh, so blue?

CHORUS
It can’t be you don’t love me because I know you do
So I guess any fool could see it must be
All that gin and vermouth

VERSE
Why can’t you just call it a martini?
Does tellin’ the truth hurt you that bad?
I don’t have to be no Houdini
To escape the best love I ever had
You don’t do nothin’ to deserve me
So I guess I’ll just belly up to the bar
And drink me a dirty martini
Just who the hell do you think you are?

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
You know, after I find out who you are
I’m gonna ask that same question about myself

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yeah, it must be all that gin and vermouth
