Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie

(michael peterson/paula carpenter)
I was 12 when daddy said to me
Dont take to drinking boy that road dont lead no where
And dont you ever let me hear you swear
Dont you dare
He told me that stealings a lazy mans way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so dont buy into it
And then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey ive tried
But since i met you girl ive been breaking every rule
I must confess im just a back sliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear ill 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 youre 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
Theres nothing more that i can do　aint no use
Cause every time i see your angel face
My halo disappears without a trace i swear
Girl id admit i havent got a prayer
But i dont care
I know this aint exactly how i was raised
But heaven help me honey i aint changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear ill 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 youre the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear ill 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 youre the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal and lie
