- Drinkin' Thing Lyrics / with translationsEvery day... I tell myself, it's temporary
That it's only 'cause she's young
That makes her want... another man
Eventhough she makes me feel un-necessary
I've found a way to help me understand
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
About where you've been
Who you've been with
What you've done
And it's a lonely thing
But, it's the only thing
To keep a foolish man in love
Hangin' on...
If I wait at home, I'll only ask her questions
She'd probably the truth, so I don't even ask
So, I sit here on this barstool, feelin' helpless
And I wonder, just how long ... a man can last
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
About where you've been
Who you've been with
What you've done
And it's a lonely thing
But it's the only thing
To keep a foolish man in love
Hangin' on ...
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
About where you've been
Who you've been with
What you've done...
(music fades)
That it's only 'cause she's young
That makes her want... another man
Eventhough she makes me feel un-necessary
I've found a way to help me understand
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
About where you've been
Who you've been with
What you've done
And it's a lonely thing
But, it's the only thing
To keep a foolish man in love
Hangin' on...
If I wait at home, I'll only ask her questions
She'd probably the truth, so I don't even ask
And I wonder, just how long ... a man can last
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
About where you've been
Who you've been with
What you've done
And it's a lonely thing
But it's the only thing
To keep a foolish man in love
Hangin' on ...
I've got this drinkin' thing
To keep from thinkin' things
About where you've been
Who you've been with
What you've done...
