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
