[Verse 1]
It's midnight in the big city, at the bar drinking all on my own
Just thinking about that girl and me, how something's going wrong
Mister, tell me what's my saving grace?
The back room boys were all telling me I'm a borderline case

[Chorus]
Back on the borderline
One more time
Back on the borderline
One more time

[Verse 2]
Seven beers and still sober, it's time to change to something stronger
I cannot take this scene no longer, she could have told me it's all over
Back in my hometown, the old place, it's still the same
But time can cast a spell over something, and you can't go back again

[Chorus]
Back on the borderline
One more time
Back on the borderline
One more time

[Verse 3]
Mister, fill me another 'til I go crazy and it turn my mind around
Just pass that bottle one more time and slowly sink it down
Jeanie, can I tell you the shame of my disgrace?
It's just love or rejection for this borderline case
[Chorus]
Back on the borderline
One more time
Back on the borderline
One more time

[Outro]
I'm on my hands and knees, I'm crawling
I'm begging you, darling
One more time
I know the risk you're taking
But please don't leave me forsaken
One more time
