Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie

I was 12 when daddy said to me

"Don't take to drinking, boy

That road don't lead nowhere

And don't you ever let me hear you swear

Don't you dare"

He told me, "Stealing's a lazy man's way

Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay

So, don't buy into it

And then you can look the whole world in the eye"

Honey, I've tried

But since I met you, girl

I've been breaking every rule

I must confess, I'm just a backsliding fool

I want to drink from your loving cup

Swear I'll never give you up

Steal all your kisses underneath the moon

I wanna lie here close to you

Look at what you made me do

Darling, you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie

Last night I threw away the 12-step book

I finally faced the fact that I am hooked on you

There's nothing more that I can do

Ain't no use

'Cause every time I see your angel face

My halo disappears without a trace, I swear

Girl, I'd admit I haven't got a prayer

But I don't care

I know this ain't exactly how I was raised

But heaven help me, honey

I ain't changing my ways

I want to drink from your loving cup

Swear I'll never give you up

Steal all your kisses underneath the moon

I wanna lie here close to you

Look at what you made me do

Darling, you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie

I want to drink from your loving cup

Swear I'll never give you up

Steal all your kisses underneath the moon

I wanna lie here close to you

Look at what you made me do

Darling, you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie

Drink, swear, steal and lie
