Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before
[Verse 1]
Can I buy you a drink? You look lonely
Well, so am I and it might help us both
I can tell by that lost look in your eyes
Just like me, you've lost the one you love most
Well, mine walked out into the arms of another
Saying, "I just don't love you no more"
And I've just got to tell someone my story
But stop me if you've heard this one before

[Chorus]
For I wouldn't think of wasting your time
I've wasted too much of my own
And it's not just a different approach or a line
And I'll leave if you'd rather be alone
'cause that's how you were when I walked in
Well, so am I, just like you, maybe more
And with each word I speak, I die a little
So please stop me if you've heard this one before

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Outro Chorus]
And with each word I speak, I die a little
So please stop me if you've heard this one before
