They don't talk to each other They're no longer lovers They won't even say the three words that could keep love from dying She needs a shoulder, he needs to hold her But he's in a bar, and she's in the bedroom crying VERSE 2: He tells the bartender his problems and thanks him for listening Then he orders more whiskey to have something warm he can hold She picks up the phone, and calls up a friend, And says she wishes she knew what was missing Both of them ask the wrong people why their love's growing cold CHORUS: N.C. They don't talk to each other They're no longer lovers They won't even say the three words that could keep love from dying She needs a shoulder, he needs to hold her But he's in a bar, and she's in the bedroom crying But he's in a bar, and she's in the bedroom crying
