She took a drink I saw her Her face intensified She took another and complained it was too dry Maybe she needs it to keep her calm And maybe she doesn't know why I can't stand to see her need it all the time It not so easy It's something that it helps her unwind It helps her to forget And to ease her worried mind She says she knows her limit And she knows just when to stop How can I believe her when she can hardly talk She's got a lot to learn She's got a long hard fight Has to admit she's got her problems She's got a lot to learn She's got a long hard fight Has to admit she's got her problems To start to make it right Tried to help her once I said that I was on her side Sometimes the finest of intentions goes awry Didn't have the strength you see to face the fact Will power was a quality she simply lacked Oh yeah yeah yeah She's got a lot to learn She's got a long hard fight Has to admit she's got her problems In order to see the light She's got a lot to learn She's got a long hard fight Has to admit she's got her problems She'll never make it right Dropped in late one night I saw the light was on She stumbled to the door With a bottle that was half gone Stared into her bloodshot eyes And I walked out the door I can't stand to see her need it anymore She's got a lot to learn She's got a long hard fight Has to admit she's got her problem In order to see the light She's got a lot to learn She's got a long hard fight Has to admit she's got a problem Or she'll never make it right She's got a lot to learn She's got a long hard fight Has to admit she's got a problem
