The man didn't believe


The man didn't believe that he would drink
Until the day his friend asked him out and be merry.

The man didn't believe that he would binge
Until the day his friend asked him out and be merry
And bought him a pint after he finished his own.

The man didn't believe that he would get drunk
Until the day his friend asked him out and be merry
And bought him a pint after he finished his own
And he wakes up next morning with a splitting headache.

The man didn't believe that getting drunk was a big deal
Until the day his friend asked him out and be merry
And bought him a pint after he finished his own
And he wakes up next morning with a splitting headache
And his wife and children are no longer at home anymore.
