Have Another One Not Me by John Pizzarelli Lyrics

>
I'm not one to sing the blues
I can't take a lot
But when it impairs our health
And we haven't got a wealth of health to spare
Don't you share my view

Life is just a game we play
But we both play too hard
So has it occurred to you
We might need a month or two
Relaxation...

Oh the road we've been traveling' on
Is oh, so rough
The pace that you've been setting's
Getting oh, so tough
To say that we could continue
Would be such bluff
So have another one... not me
I used to hold your hand
Kiss you goodnight before bed
And I used to think it grand
So did you, so you said
Well, I can't hold your hand, dеar
While I'm holding my head
So have anothеr one... not me

I like an "easy does it" kind of existence
For my resistance is low
I better take it slow
Or suddenly I'll go...
I just know

Well each time I bring the subject up
I meet with a stare
It's like a heart to heart talk
With your favorite chair
You know, you and Johnny Walker
You make a lovely looking pair
So have another one... not me

I like an "easy does it" kind of existence
For my resistance is low
I better take it slow
Or suddenly I'll go...
I just know
Well, you said you needed someone
Just to hold on to you
Well, the idea sounded swell
But it would be end to you
I like my arms around you
But not the bartender, too
So have another one...

And another one...
Have another one...
And another one...
Have another one...
Oh... not me
