Well, she started with a margarita she went to straight tequila And before the night was over, oh Her little secret was between us But she laughed, I cried And she said, \"I'll be fine.\" Now she's barely and I'm thinking Wonder how long she's been drinking, like this She looks me in the eye and says, \"I swear quitting.\" I almost believed it Then she cried she lies 'Cause that's what she said last Saturday night
CHORUS: How am I suppose to help when they tell you That they don't need help How am I suppose to reach a soul That doesn't know they to save themselves My friend, I've done all I can do You've got to Help me help you
Oh, I home from work I turn the TV on The telephone's a ringing Her little girl is crying Says, \"I can't wake mama up from sleeping.\" Well, I burned that road Opened up the door, she \"Leave me alone.\"
CHORUS
It's been 4 years and now I stand In the back of the room
She said, started with a margarita Then I went to straight tequila.\" 12 steps, 4 years, and 27 days And now I stand before you Help me help you
