Lyrics - Drinking And Thinking by Gafford John

(
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.
