all you'll have left is the blues (the bathroom song)

i'm sittin' here in this lonely bathroom
bitter tears are runnin' down my face
it wouldn't be so bad if someone did me wrong
but i'm the one who got me to this place
i had a girl i knew, that really loved me
she told me each and every single day
but i got drunk and tore her love to pieces
like a fool i went and pissed her love away

(chorus)
you got it made when you got somebody
someone who even loves you when you lose
if you treat 'em bad
and leave 'em sad
all you'll have left is the blues

now i'm tellin' you, as if it makes a difference
'cause you seem to want to make the same mistake
you think it's bad if things ain't goin' your way
you want it your way every single day
so if you think it's better bein' lonely
you can go ahead and put her in her place
go ahead and tear her love to pieces
just another fool who pissed his love away (hey)

(chorus)
you got it made when you got somebody
someone who even loves you whe you lose
if you treat 'em bad
and leave 'em sad
all you'll have left is the blues

if you treat 'em bad
and leave 'em sad
all you'll have left is the blues

a friend of mine called me one night drunk and pissed off...his girlfriend was late getting back home to pick him up...when i answered the phone...the first words out of his mouth were...'i'm sitting here in this lonely bathroom'...after i listened to his tale of woe i wrote this song...based on the first thing he said to me that night.
