It takes a whole Liquor To Like Her That's why I drink all the time It takes Liquor To Like Her When I'm liquored up I like her just fine. She wants to tell me where to go tell me what do to Tell me what to eat an how loud I can chew She even want's to tell me what thoughts I oughta think It used to drive me crazy till it drove me to drink. It takes a whole Liquor To Like Her That's why I drink all the time It takes Liquor To Like Her When I'm liquored up I like her just fine. Well she's such a pretty thing you'd think she's Heaven send She's the quarrelsom kind loves and argument She can yell all day she can scream all night I just sit there smilin' just as high as a kite. It takes a whole Liquor To Like Her That's why I drink all the time It takes Liquor To Like Her When I'm liquored up I like her just fine. This drinkin' buddy of mine he married a girl Said she was the meanest woman in the world I saw her pretty picture I said man your pokin' fun Then the day I met her I said pour me one. It takes a whole Liquor To Like Her That's why I drink all the time It takes Liquor To Like Her When I'm liquored up I like her just fine. You may look down your nose at me Think I'm an old sorry son of a  The only way I'm givin' up my drinkin' glass Is if I can find a way to get her off my back(your wifes on the phone). Little brown jug upon my lips Your savin' our love with every sip. Every time I get sober she drives me outta my mind It takes Liquor To Like Her But when I'm liquored up I like her just fine But when I'm liquored up I like her just fine When I'm liquored up I hell I love her. Hey honey I'm home Honey Honey.

La chanson aborde de manière humoristique les défis d'une relation où la femme semble exigeante et difficile à supporter. Le narrateur admet que pour apprécier la présence de sa compagne, il doit recourir à l'alcool. Il décrit sa partenaire comme belle mais querelleuse, et les situations qu'il traverse avec elle deviennent presque insupportables lorsqu'il est sobre. En buvant, il réussit à prendre du recul et à mieux apprécier sa compagnie, même si cela reflète une dépendance qui complique plus leur amour. Le contexte apparent laisse entendre un amusement face aux travers des relations amoureuses, tout en traitant du recours à l'alcool comme échappatoire aux tensions. Cela souligne la lutte entre affection et désaccord, tout en laissant transparaître un certain cynisme sur l'amour et les compromis qu'il exige.
