[Verse 1]
Let's make a toast to things that never happened
And say goodbye to things that might have been
Tonight let's try to be the best of lovers
'Cause tomorrow we'll just be the best of friends
[Verse 2]
I know you've got plans that don't include me
But still your fruit is sweet upon the vine
Just for old time's sake let me hold you
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time
[Chorus]
I guess we should have known we'd never make it
Baby our goals in life were never quite the same
And as we sit here thinking about tomorrow
I know that neither of us is to blame
[Verse 3]
But I still get that feeling when I touch you
And I can't help but wish that you were mine
So press your tender lips against me softly
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time
[Verse 4]
The grapes of wrath somehow always seem sweeter
When you steal 'em off of someone else's vine
So let me feel you lying close beside me
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time
