help me, help you

Lyrics

well, she started with a margarita, then she went to straight tequila, and before the night was over, oh, her little secret was between us, but she laughed, i cried, and she said, "i'll be fine.", now she's barely walking and i'm thinking, wonder how long she's been drinking, like this, she looks me in the eye and says, "i swear i'm quitting.", i almost believed it, then she cried but she lies, 'cause that's what she said last saturday night, how am i suppose to help, somebody when they tell you, that they don't need help, how am i suppose to reach a soul, that doesn't know they need to save themselves, my friend, i've done all i can do, you've got to, help me, help you, oh, i get home from work, i turn the tv on, the telephone's a ringing, her little girl is crying, says, "i can't wake mama up from sleeping.", well, i burned that road, opened up the door, she says, "leave me alone.", it's been 4 years and now i stand, in the back of the room, she said, "i started with a margarita, then i went to straight tequila.", 12 steps, 4 years, and 27 days, and now i stand before you, help me, help you
