Drinking Again Lyrics by Rod Stewart

Drinking Again

[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
