Midnight in the big city
At the bar drinking all on my own
Just thinking about that girl and me

How something's going wrong

Mister, tell me, what's my saving grace?

The back room boys
Were all telling me
I'm a borderline case


Back on the borderline one more time


Seven beers and still sober
It's time to change to something stronger
I cannot take this scene no longer

She could have told me it's all over

Back in my home town

The old place is still the same
But time can cast a spell over something
You can't go back again


Back on the borderline one more time


Mister, fill me another
Till I go crazy and it turn my mind around
Just pass that bottle one more time

And slowly drink it down

Jeanie can I tell you?

The shame of my disgrace
It's just love or rejection
For this borderline case


Back on the borderline one more time


I'm on my bended knees crawling
I'm begging you darling
