All I ever did was give you my attention
Every Friday night since I turned twenty-two
I trusted you with my naïve intentions
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
I gave you every penny in my pocket
You [?] made me tell the truth
Stayed out with you all night when you came calling
Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?

I let you stay, you made a leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
went to hell and can't get back
The only thing I couldn't stand to lose
Hey whiskey, hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?

You talked me into letting her walk out
Promise me that there's somebody new
I gotta ask from where I sit right now
"Hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you? "

I let you stay, you made a leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
went to hell and can't get back
The only thing I couldn't stand to lose
Hey whiskey, hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?

I held you up, you let me drown
No, you ain't worth the hurt
So I cannot put you down

I let you stay, you made a leave
Made me say things I don't mean
To the only girl that ever made me choose
Gave you everything I had
went to hell and can't get back
Both the hearts that you just broke in two

Hey whiskey, hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
Hey whiskey, hey whiskey, what'd I ever do to you?
