Well, I sat down at a table next to the party
And I could see they were heavy of good time
So I ordered up a bottle of the same thing they were drinking
But it didn't do a thing to ease my mind

Oh, it all depends on how you drink the wine
When I turn to the bottle heartaches is all I find
Some people get happy but I just keep on crying
Yes, it all depends on how you drink the wine

When I look in the bottle I see your reflection
But I turn it up and drink it like a fool
This wine don't kill my feelings so I might as well be leaving
And let somebody else have my stool

Yes, it all depends on how you drink the wine
When I turn to the bottle heartaches is all I find
Some people get happy but I just keep on crying
Yes, it all depends on how you drink the wine
Yes, it all depends on how you drink the wine
