Testo Drink, Swear, Steal Lie Michael Peterson
(michael peterson/paula carpenter)
I was 12 when daddy said to me
Donât take to drinking boy that road donât lead no where
And donât you ever let me hear you swear
Donât you dare
He told me that stealingâs a lazy manâs way
Something for nothing leaves you hell to pay so donât buy into it
And then you can look the whole world in the eye
Honey Iâve tried
But since I met you girl Iâve been breaking every rule
I must confess Iâm just a back sliding fool
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear Iâll 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 youâre 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
Thereâs nothing more that I can do ainât no use
Cause every time I see your angel face
My halo disappears without a trace i swear
Girl Iâd admit I havenât got a prayer
But I donât care
I know this ainât exactly how I was raised
But heaven help me honey I ainât changing my ways
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear Iâll 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 youâre the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear Iâll 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 youâre the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
Drink, swear, steal and lie
