Drinking Again

Bette Midler


Drinkin' again. 
Thinking of when you loved me. 
Having a few. 
Wishing that you were here. 

Making the rounds. 
Buying a round for total strangers. 
Just being a fool, 
'cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear. 

Sure I can borrow a smoke. 
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes, 
but who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh 
at a broken heart? 
Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking. 

And I'm drinking again. 
Thinking of when you loved me. 
And I'm tryin' to get home 
with nothing, nothing but a memory. 

Yes, I'm dying to get home, 
dying to get home. 
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer, 
and just my memory.
