People gazed, and people said
It looked so beautiful, when you two danced!
Oh, it was magical, we all could tell
He really loves you, too in his own way!

Yes, that is right
All this is true
But it's not magic
No, it's just the booze
Whisky brings out the love in him
A love that, when he's sober
He cannot feel

I was all new to this spirits thing
I just did not know, 'cause I never used to drink
I wondered, how a bond that seemed so strong
When we were together be suddenly gone?

Well, it's quite simple, nothing is real!
It's only the alcohol that he feels
I had to learn all this the hardest way
His love disappeared
Came the light of day

It's quite confusing
And awfully cruel
You feel like an idiot
A gawd-damn fool
When the love that you feel for him
Was never the drugs
But in fact the real thing

Yes, it is sad
But sadly it's true
There is no magic
There is only booze
Whisky brings out his love for me
A love that, when he's sober
He never feels
