in A Case Of You, the main line is not a compliment. She's calling him weak. "I could drink a case of you, and still be on my feet" You're nothing, watered wine, I'm stronger than you even if you give me your all.
and I have heard that songs hundreds of times, sang it at least as many, and this time I just happened to throw some disdain I had left pver from an earlier line into that line, and holy shit. The rest of it has always had that bitter taste to it, but I had been still hearing that line as sweet and romantic, or bitter in a longing way, but that recolors that whole thing for me. That line finally fits the feel of the rest of it for me. Now i qwant to do a dark, heavy cover version of it again

It seemed like I sang more Joni Mitchell songs in voice recitals than any thing else.
The way I see it, he said,
