Drink Swear Steal Lie lyrics

(michael peterson/paula carpenter)



I was 12 when daddy said to me

Donâ??t take to drinking boy that road donâ??t lead no where

And donâ??t you ever let me hear you swear

Donâ??t you dare

He told me that stealingâ??s a lazy manâ??s way

Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so donâ??t buy into it

And then you can look the whole world in the eye

Honey Iâ??ve tried

But since I met you girl Iâ??ve been breaking every rule

I must confess Iâ??m just a back sliding fool



I want to drink from your loving cup

Swear Iâ??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 youâ??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

Thereâ??s nothing more that I can do ainâ??t no use

Cause every time I see your angel face

My halo disappears without a trace i swear

Girl Iâ??d admit I havenâ??t got a prayer

But I donâ??t care

I know this ainâ??t exactly how I was raised

But heaven help me honey I ainâ??t changing my ways



I want to drink from your loving cup

Swear Iâ??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 youâ??re the reason why

I drink, swear, steal and lie



I want to drink from your loving cup

Swear Iâ??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 youâ??re the reason why

I drink, swear, steal and lie



Drink, swear, steal and lie
