i've been drinking

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
