Drinking And Thinking - Lyrics by Gafford John


Lyrics
(
Chorus)I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's messing up my mind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's getting (putting) me in a bind.('
Cause I'm paying a heavy (emotional) fine.)I woke up this morning, And to my surprise.I found a little (soft) something, That opened up my eyes.
How can this be happening, How can this be true.
How can this be happening (again), I don't know what to do.I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I get into a bind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I lose my mind.(
What was I thinking, I must of been drinking.)(
Chorus)I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's messing up my mind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's getting (putting) me in a bind.('
Cause I'm paying a heavy (emotional) fine.)
She looked at me in wonder, With those big baby blues.
My eyes closed with a thunder, Hoping that it wasn't true.
How can this be happening, I don't know what to do.
How can this be happening (again), I don't even know you.I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I get into a bind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I lose my mind.(
What was I thinking, I must of been drinking.)(
Chorus)I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's messing up my mind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's getting (putting) me in a bind.('
Cause I'm paying a heavy (emotional) fine.)
If I had but (just) one wish, It would be for you my dear.
To get you up and going, To make you disappear. (
And to get you out of hear.)
Please don't take it hard, I hoping that you're strong.
Please don't take if personally, But you gotta (must) be moving on.I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I get into a bind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I lose my mind.(
What was I thinking, I must of been drinking.)(
Chorus)I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's messing up my mind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking,'
Cause it's getting (putting) me in a bind.('
Cause I'm paying a heavy (emotional) fine.)I don't know what I said, Can't even remember your name.I don't know what I did, To get you to play the game. (my game)
Oh, what's a man to do, Where's the reason why.
Oh, where's a man to turn to, Give me a whiskey and rye.(
For me it's whiskey and rye.)I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I get into a bind.I gotta stop drinking and thinking, Before I lose....my....mind........pour me another honey, I'm late for my date,....make it a double, I gotta feeling I'll be out late.
