(Michael Peterson/Paula Carpenter) I was 12 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 Don't you dare He told me that stealing's 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 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 Last night I threw away the 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'd admit I haven't got a prayer But I don't care I know this ain't exactly how I was raised But heaven help me honey I ain't changing my ways 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 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 (c) 1997 Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp.
