"CANDY BARS AND CHEAP RED WHINE"

...I really can't explain it any better than this!


(verse 1)
Got a letter from a lover,
bad as he was good.
Told me once to go away -
now I wish I could.


Suddenly he sees the picture,
like from God divine.
Sanctify his selfishness -
water into wine.


(chorus)
"Two-Buck Chuck" is a thing of the past...
now it's three-ninety-nine.
but nights like this, it's the only cure -
Candy bars and cheap red whine,
Candy bars and cheap red whine.


(verse 2)
Wants to tell me all about it,
now he understands.
It was spirits gave him guidance -
not his own two hands.


Girl like me knows what he's thinkin',
make himself look fine.
I'm not buyin', I'm not drinkin' -
I don't need no sign.


(bridge)
Some things can give a girl the terrors -
Tonight that thing is his spelling errors.
There's wine you drink, or a whining letter -
One is bad, and one is better...
I only want the one that's wetter.


(verse3)
Got a letter from a lover,
like from God divine.
Told him just to go away -
take his cheap red whine.


(chorus)
"Two-Buck Chuck" is a thing of the past...
now it's three-ninety-nine.
but nights like this, it's the only cure -
Candy bars and cheap red whine,
Candy bars and cheap red whine.

    No candy thanks, but I'd like another glass of the red plonk, Ta.
