There are things I want to forget
I’m so lonely, I don't know what to do
When a man feels this way,
He drinks sake
Drinking, drinking, drunk, drinking
Drinking, he drinks until he collapses
Soon the man will be sleeping quietly
There are things I want to forget
I’m so sad, I don't know what to do
When a woman feels this way,
She shows her tears
Crying, crying, crying alone
Crying, she cries until she’s exhausted
Soon the woman will be sleeping quietly
One woman has been thinking she’s important
One man has been thinking of dishonesty
I am a man, I can’t weep because it’s unmanly
So I’ll drink myself to sleep again tonight
I am a man, tears are a thing I do not show
Drinking, drinking, drunk, drinking
Drinking, he drinks until he collapses
Soon the man will be sleeping quietly
