I need the high — текст песни (Dr. Hook)

She left without warning me of where or when she`d go
She`d never knew the way my love would grow
Now broken glass is on the floor, each piece reflects her face
I need the high but I can`t stand the taste

I need the high to keep me from losing my mind
I hope I can get by, it happens every time
And I wonder where she goes to find the one who`ll take my place
I need the high but I can`t stand the taste

She told me that my sweet love was hard to be without
But the sweetness turned to bitter in my mouth
And the bottle`s all I`ve got to hold, but it won`t say goodbye
I can`t stand this taste but Lord I need the high

I need the high to keep me from losing my mind
I hope I can get by, it happens every time
And I wonder where she goes to find the one who`ll take my place
I need the high but I can`t stand the taste

I need the high but I can`t stand the taste
