We It All - Dobie Gray

She’s graceful to the eye

Elegant and tall

To see her walking by

You’d think she had it all

But I see her all the time now

A little red around the eyes now

Even so it doesn’t show

'Till I hear it in her words there

Just a little bit slurred there

Then I know, I know

That she’s drinking again

Started sinking again

What’s she sinking within?

Well, I don’t know

But she’s drinking again

Started sinking again

What’s she thinking of then?

Well, I don’t know

None of this is new

It all went down before

When she made it through

I thought she knew the score

But she’s nothing left to hope with

'Cause it’s such a lot to cope with

Even still, I think she will

'Cause she’s trying really hard now

Letting down her guard now

Until, until

She starts drinking again

She starts sinking again

What’s she sinking within?

I don’t know

But she’s drinking again

Started sinking again

What’s she thinking of then?

Well, I don’t know

But she dreamed of being so fine

And she dreamed of having someone by her side

And even when her dream had died

Still she dreamed that she could somehow make it right

Lipstick smudging her face

Hair all over the place

They say she’s a disgrace

But they don’t know

If she’s drinkin' a lot

And if she says that she’s not

Is she able to stop?

I don’t know, I don’t know
