Used to be each night I knew I was the bright light in the room
When I'd had a drink or two or four
I don't do that anymore

My crazy voice cut through the crowd
I'd talk too slow and laugh too loud
I'd drink until they pulled me off the floor
I don't do that anymore

'Cause I wised up
I opened my eyes up
Now I rise up every morning and my head doesn't ache
I used to wake and wonder what stupid thing I'd done the night before
I don't do that anymore

I used to tell friends bitterly just how bad she was to me
She dumped me and I didn't know what for
I don't do that anymore

I used to act so innocent
About my abandonment
I'd pretend I didn't send her out the door
I don't do that anymore

'Cause I wised up
I opened my eyes up
Now I rise up every morning and my heart doesn't ache
I used to wake and wonder how could she have done me wrong before
I don't do that anymore

I used to say that I never would be satisfied
I'd never love strong like before
I don't do that anymore

'Cause I wised up
I opened my eyes up
Now we rise up every morning and you make my day
I used to say love never stays
It always fades that's all I'd I say for sure
I don't do that anymore
