Drinking Again (aka I`ve Been Drinking)

(Johnny Mercer, Doris Tauber)
Jeff Beck Group

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
