Brand new year, same ol' trouble Stroke of midnight didn't change a thing She'll still be the pin that goes and bursts my bubble And writes these sad songs I sing You know I hate New Year's Eve Another year I can't believe Another pounding in my head Another woman in my bed I don't know this one's name I'm glad she's here just the same 'Cause now and then I need some help To keep my mind off someone else Brand new year, same ol' trouble Stroke of midnight didn't change a thing She'll still be the pin that goes and bursts my bubble And writes these sad songs I sing Tonight I wish I'd just stayed home Could've stayed there and drank alone Could've stayed there and had a ball Waitin' round for her to call Could've made believe I was still her man Instead of bein' where I am But here I am, here I go High again and feelin' low Brand new year, same ol' trouble Stroke of midnight didn't change a thing She'll still be the pin that goes and bursts my bubble And writes these sad songs I sing
