"You're Not Drinkin' Enough" Lyrics

[Originally recorded by Don Henley]

I can see that you haven't recovered

From the girl who let you down

But you'd sell what is left of your soul

For another go-round

You keep tellin' yourself she means nothin'

And maybe you should call her bluff

But you don't really believe it

You must not be drinkin' enough

Oh, the perfume she wore

You can buy down at the Five and Dime

But on some other woman

It don't smell the same in your mind

You keep tellin' yourself that you can take it

You keep tellin' yourself that you're tough

But you still wanna hold her

So you must not be drinkin' enough

Oooh

You're not drinkin' enough

To wash away old memories

And there ain't enough whiskey in Texas

To keep you from beggin'

Please, please, please

She passed on your passion

And stepped on your pride

Turns out you ain't quite so tough

'Cause you still wanna hold her

You must not be drinkin' enough

Ay-yi-yi-yi, you ask yourself why

But you still wanna hold her

You must not be drinkin' enough, no

Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi

Whoa, you still wanna hold her

You must no be drinkin' enough

Ay-yi-yi-yi, ay-yi-yi-yi

Oh, I still wanna hold her

I must not be drinkin' enough
