The Last Six: Again, with you

I think writing a song about drinking was our assingment for the song writing group I go to about once a month.   I've written drinking songs before.   Named my first EP 'Pick ME UP' after one even.  In way this song is an update on that song.
'Pick Me up' was a story song that I wrote because I wanted to write a song about drinking.   This songs reflects a lot more of my ambivalence towards booze these days.   These days booze mostly seems to make me headachy and sleepy.  In it's defense, it still tastes good and can be fun but mostly it makes me feel kind of stupid.   
So I stole the personification from the original song I wrote about drinking and made the person talking in the song me, or mostly me at least.  

Here's the first page I scrawled out on drinking from my notebook.



And here are the lyrics I had in front of my when I sat down, pressed record and started inventing a melody. 

I met out last night with my friends
I met out last night
We seemed to keep It on the mend

And I don’t know if I like how you talk to me
And I don’t know if I like how you make me feel
Yet here I am again with you

I never had a problem that’s I’d admit
I never had to give you up
No not for a bit

And I don’t know if I like how you talk to me
And I don’t know if I like how you make me feel
Yet here I am again with you

But when it’s bad it’s really bad
And when It hurts it really hurts
And when the mornings they sneak up on me
That’s the worst.

I’ve seen you leave people looking dog faced and old
And I’ve seen you leaving people
Face down in the cold

And I don’t know if I like how you talk through me
And I don’t know if I like the ways you make me feel
Yet here I am again with you
