Michael Peterson Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie [Album Version] Lyrics

I was twelve when Daddy said to me
Don't take to drinking boy, that road don't lead to 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

I want to drink from your lovin' 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 twelve-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

I want to drink from your lovin' 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 made me do
Darlin' you're the reason why
I drink, swear, steal and lie
