Whiskey and Chewing Gum

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love's like whiskey—it ain't right but it gets you drunk Numbs you for a little while until the morning comes When you finally figure out you can never drink enough Some love's like chewing gum—it tastes good when it's new But it don't take long till it's tired and it's tasteless to you Like motions you don't feel, but you learn to close your eyes and just go through [Chorus 1] Shouldn't it be easier to love someone Instead of all these whiskey nights and chewing gum? God knows it's hard enough to be alone So shouldn't it be easier to love someone? [Verse 2] Some love's a cheap motel out past the city lights With a heart-shaped swimming pool and a bottle of red wine You don't think about the morning when you're checking in there for the night Some love's a loaded gun in a box beneath the bed You don't want to use it but you keep it just because you're scared Maybe you'd sleep better if it wasn't ever even there [Chorus 2] Shouldn't it be easier to love someone Instead of all these cheap motels and loaded guns? God knows it's hard enough to be alone So shouldn't it be easier to love someone? Someone [Bridge] Stay one more night with my whiskey kisses As hard as all this is [Chorus 3] Shouldn't it be easier to love someone? Shouldn't it be easier to love someone? Someone To love someone
