Drink Swear Steal And Lie lyrics

I was twelve 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 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 try)
But since I met you girl, I`m breaking 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 wanna 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 my 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 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

(Repeat chorus
