I'm drinking champagne, feeling no pain 'till early morning
Dinning and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

Guilty conscience I guess
I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine

So I'll keep drinking champagne, feeling no pain 'till early morning
Dinning and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
Having a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind

Guilty conscience I guess
I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine

So I'll keep drinking champagne, feeling no pain 'till early morning
Dinning and dancing with every pretty girl I can find
I'll keep having a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early morning
Knowing tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind
