    I dont care who you''ve been sleeping with these days

    You''re outta my hair

    It''s growing just above my smiling face that I wear

    Every night I drink myself to sleep

    Not thinking about you

    Not thinking about anything at all



    I don''t care who you''ve been dining with these days

    It''s more than fair

    Much rather be drinking anyways

    With my friend Peter

    Who lives so fucking far away

    Yet not as far as you

    Even though you live right down my fucking street



    And I''m tired of sleeping with myself

    I''m tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help

    I''m tired of lying about not thinking of you

    Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do



    I dont care who you''ve been kissing on these days

    It''s out of my hands

    and in my mouth with such a pleasant taste

    I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace

    And then i''ll drink 23 more

    To wipe this stupid smile off my fucking face



    I''m tired of sleeping with myself

    I''m tired, all those drinks and drugs no longer help

    I''m tired of lying about not thinking of you

    Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do
