[Verse 1]
Everything is going wrong
Everything is bad
There's no one I can talk to
When I am feeling sad
She broke my heart a million ways
I'm losing all my friends
The boys down at the factory
They wonder where I've been
[Chorus]
Fill 'er up with love please won't you mister?
Just the high-test is what I used to say
But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
[Verse 2]
I never should have left my home
Never left the farm
But the city was exciting
How could it do me any harm?
But the more folks that I've run across
The less I seem to know
The days go by too quickly
The nights go by too slow
[Chorus]
Fill 'er up with love please won't you mister?
Just the high-test is what I used to say
But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
[Verse 3]
I cannot face another girl
I believe I'll turn to drink
So I won't remember
So I won't have to think
Tomorrow will bring happiness
Or at least another day
So I will bid farewell to you
And I'll be on my way
[Chorus]
Fill 'er up with love please won't you mister?
Just the high-test is what I used to say
But that was before I lost my baby
I'll have a dollar's worth of regular today
