Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was twelve when daddy said to me, don't take to drinking boy
That road don't lead no where
And don't you ever let me hear you swear
[Verse 2]
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 buy into it
And then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey I've tried, but since I met you girl I've been breaking every rule
I must confess I'm just a back sliding fool
[Verse 3]
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 at what you made me do, darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
[Verse 4]
Last night I threw away the twelve step book, I finally face 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
[Verse 5]
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 at what you made me do, darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
[Verse 6]
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 at what you made me do, darling you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal and lie
