Drinking Again (aka I've Been Drinking)

(johnny mercer, doris tauber)

Jeff beck group

[produced my mickie most, b side of columbia db 8359, 1968]



I'm drinkin' again

Thinkin' of when

You left me

That happened once so long ago, hmm



I've been havin' a few

And wishin' that you

Were right here by my side



Well i'm makin' the rounds

And settin' them up

A total stranger to myself

I'm just makin' a fool of myself



I'm just hopin' that you'll come right back once, someday,

But i know, i know, i know

That there's no second time around



Hmm. now, listen!

I know, i know, i know.



Sure i know i can borrow a smoke

Or sit here all night long and tell a joke

But after all is said and done

Who's gonna laugh,

Who's gonna laugh at a broken, a broken heart?



I've been drinkin' again

And thinkin' of when

Of when you left me

And that weren't so long ago,



Hmm

I've been havin' a few

You know that you know,

And wishin' that you

Were here right by my side



Hmm

Now listen one time!

I've been drinkin' again

I've been drinkin' again

Sometimes i can't help myself.

Hmm
