Drinking Again - Dinah Washington

Ooh, it’s almost two

And I’m sitting here wishing that I could see you

That’s why I’m drinking again

And thinking of when you loved me

I’m having a few, and wishing that you were here

I’m making the rounds, and buying the rounds, for strangers

Yes, I’m being a fool, just hoping that you’ll appear

Sure I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a joke

But who’s gonna laugh, who’s gonna laugh at a broken heart

That’s why its better, drinking again

And thinking of when you left

Me

Can’t you see I’m trying to make it on home

And ain’t got nothing but a memory

Maybe I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a joke

But, who’s got the nerve, the nerve to laugh at my broken heart

That’s why it’s better drinking again

And thinking of when you left

Me
