One guy brings a blonde.And after we all swore up and down, no dames! But he""s gotta bring her, this guy.Well, if she isn""t drunk and crying, she""s got a hangover and arguing.One minute she gets sore at you and won""t talk to you at all.The next, she""s makin"" a play for you right in front of the guy!
