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
CHORUS:
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 chance
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
REPEAT CHORUS (2 x`s)
Drink, swear, steal, lie
