"Don't take to drinking, boy, that road don't lead nowhere
And don't you ever let me hear you swear...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 lie..then you can look the whole world in the eye
(Honey, I try)
But since I met you girl, I'm breaking every rule
I must confess I'm just a backsliding fool

Chorus:
I want to drink from your loving cup
Swear I'll never give you up
Steal all your kisses underneath the moon
I wanna lie here close to you, look what you make me do
Darlin', you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie

Last night I threw away my 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 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

(Repeat chorus
