Fill the shot glass to the brim
Twist the cap and pour it in
Turn it up and then fill it up again
Turn this misery on its ear
Make a memory disappear
Maybe then I'll switch to beer
'Til it reappears

Wish I could hold that girl like I can hold my liquor
I'd rather be with her tonight
No offense to you, bartender
Guess you could say that I'm the king of all pretenders
Thinkin' I can hold that girl
Like I can hold my liquor

I told her someday I'd lay it down
I guess I never got around to that one fast enough
So set me one more up

Wish I could hold that girl like I can hold my liquor
I'd rather be with her tonight
No offense to you, bartender
Guess you could say that I'm the king of all pretenders
Thinkin' I can hold that girl
Like I can hold my liquor
Wish I could hold that girl like I can hold my liquor
I'd be in her arms
Not in this bar on one more bender
Guess you could say that I'm the king of all pretenders
Thinkin' I could hold that girl
Like I can hold my liquor

Fill the shot glass to the brim
Twist the cap and pour it in
