Who died and crowned me everybody's everything I'm even busting my butt through the weekend By the time I get home there's not an ounce of sanity Between the dogs, my mommas calls Is it against the law For me to get what I need [Chorus:] A good friend and a glass of wine Someone to say it's gonna be alright A good friend and a glass of wine A little pick me up to get me through the night We talk trash n' we laugh and cry That kind of therapy money can't buy Every now and then, every now and then Every girl needs a good friend and a glass of wine I don't need to jet off to no vacation for a week I'd be happy to have a happy hour When I'm tired and I'm fried it gets me right back on my feet Any kind of red or white, a little sister time It's every smart girls secret [Chorus]
