How You Drink The Wine

Well I sat down at a table next to the party
And I could see they were heavy of good time
So I ordered up a bottle of the same thing they were drinking
But it didn't do a thing to ease my mind
Oh it all depends on how you drink the wine
When I turn to the bottle heartaches is all I find
Some people get happy but I just keep on crying
Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine
[ guitar ]
When I look in the bottle I see your reflection
But I turn it up and drink it like a fool
This wine don't kill my feelings so I might as well be leaving
And let somebody else have my stool
Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine...
Yes it all depends on how you drink the wine
