Drinking Again

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 it's 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

I'm trying to make it up to home with just a memory

I know you heard me the first time

I said i'm try to make it on home

And ain't got nothing nothing but a memory
