I drink whiskey, straight
savored, tasted,
sipped slowly down
it warms my mind
and sends shivers down my spine

Whiskey's not much like love;
not that whiskey's better,
and not that love is bitter
but I do get drunk sometimes
to forget about things

I drink whiskey, straight
savored, tasted
I make love to you, every night
like we once did
your dress
slips slowly down
we come together
and I feel the warmth
as we combine
I remember all too well
how you used to send
shivers down my spine

Whiskey's not much like love;
not that whiskey's better,
and not that love is bitter
I still miss you
I'm still drunk with love
though I'm trying to get sober
I've been here before;
I'm afraid of the hangover
So I still drink whiskey, straight,
savor memories,
of the love we tasted
I need something, still
to send those shivers
down my spine
