Rod Stewart – Drinking Again lyrics

(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
