Michael Peterson - Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie lyrics

rate me

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 wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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
