TONIC AND GIN
Tonic and gin, don’t let her come in
Don’t let her come in to my memory
She’s been there before, and made me feel sore
The girl that has made me so lonely
Tonic and gin, when did it begin?
We used to be happy together
A walk in the park, a kiss after dark
A romance I thought was forever
We used to be so happy, why did we have to part?
But how can I be happy, when I've got a broken heart?
Tonic and gin, you’re my only sin
I couldn't go on without you
Alcoholic kiss, ephemeral bliss
You take my pay and my mind too
It’s not easy to forget, the pain that I've been through
But tonight I'm not upset, I'm in an alcoholic stew
Tonic and gin, gets under my skin
And makes me feel happy again
But I wouldn’t know the rain from the snow
Something’s gone wrong with my brain
When the alcohol gets to my brain
And stops me from going insane
I will be free from the pain
And able to forget once again
Tonic and gin, gets under my skin
And makes me feel happy again
But I wouldn’t know the rain from the snow
Something’s gone wrong with my brain
