Good News Bad News by The President Lincoln Lyrics

Tammy fix me another one
I need all the help I can get
It was at this very table
How could I forget?

Her voice was like a blessing
But her words were like a curse
"I got good news and I got bad news
Which do you want first?"

I focused on the positive
For a month or two
Then reality began to sink in
You know what that can do

Now I beat myself up every day
Wondering which would have been worse?
"I got good news and I got bad news
Which do you want first?"

To answer your question
That's why I'm drinking alone
Just had to get out of my place
I just wanted to postpone
Another night without her
Another year without her
Because it was on this day in this very place
On a night somewhat like this
She leaned across this very table
For one last awkward kiss

And I remember what she told me
The last time we conversed
"I got good news and I got bad news
Which do you want first?"

"I got good news and I got bad news
Which do you want first?"

"I got good news and I got bad news
Which do you want first?"

I took the bad news and left before the good news
God damn
Such a jerk
