"Drinkin' Problem" lyrics - LORI MCKENNA

Well, I've been thinkin' while you've been drinkin'
Yet I know thinkin' is the last thing on your mind
But, I've been hopin' to get this out in the open
And hopin' we ain't runnin' out of time
The book I've been reading says we need to work this out
We need to talk about our problems, if we got 'em
I think I've got a drinkin' problem

I can't hardly get out of bed, I can't hardly clear my head
Of last night's spinning, smokey memories
I call in sick to work, I tell 'em my whole body hurts
Yeah, I think this drinkin' just might be the death of me
The man down at the meeting says we need to work this out
We need to talk about our problems, if we got 'em
I think I've got a drinkin' problem

Oh baby, you can't claim this for your own
I swear that every bottle you bring home
Leaves me feeling that much more alone
Like a stranger, yeah, you see it's my problem too

No, I never touch the stuff, but, honey, I'll tell you what
You can't count all the ways it touches me

Baby, you and me, we need to work this out
We need to talk about our problems, if we got 'em
I confess I, I've got a drinkin' problem
Baby, I think I've got a drinkin' problem
Baby, I think I've got a drinkin' problem
