It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fineShe wants to tell me where to go
Tell me what to do, tell me what to eat
And how loud I can chew
She even wants to tell meWhat thoughts I oughta think
It used to drive me crazy
Till it drove me to drinkIt takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fineWell, she's such a pretty thing
You'd think she's heaven sent
She's the quarrelsome kind
Love's an argumentShe could yell all day
She can scream all night
I just sit there smilin'
As high as a kiteIt takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drinking all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fineThis drinking buddy of mine, said he met a girl
Said she was the meanest woman in the world
I saw her pretty picture, I said, "Man, you're poking fun"
Then the day I met her, I said, "Pour me one"It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fineYou may look down your nose at me
Think I'm an old sorry son of a B
The only way I'm giving up
My drinking glass is if I can find a way to get her off my backYour wife's on the phoneLittle brown jug upon my lips
You're saving our love with every sipIt takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
That's why I drink all the time
It takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fineEvery time I get sober
She drives me out of my mindIt takes a whole lot of liquor to like her
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
But when I'm liquored up, I like her just fine
But when I'm liquored up, hell, I love her
