I was twelve when daddy said to me "Don't take to drinkin' 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 is a lazy man's way Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay So don't lie, then you can look the whole world in the eye Honey, I've tried" But since I've met you girl I'm breakin' 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 want to lie here close to you Look what you make me do Darlin' you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie Last night I threw away your twelve 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 anger disappears without a trace I swear, girl I admit I haven't got a prayer But I don't care Well, 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 want to lie here close to you Look what you make me do Darlin' 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 want to lie here close to you Look what you make me do Darlin' you're the reason why I drink, swear, steal and lie Drink, swear, steal, lie
