Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, baby, I've been drinkin'
And I shouldn't have come by, I know
But I found myself in trouble, darlin'
And I had nowhere else to go
[Verse 2]
Got some whiskey from the barman (Mmm-hmm)
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'
Till I was back in your arms again
[Verse 3]
I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I'll be guilty all the rest of my life
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do?
How come nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right?
[Verse 4]
You know, you know how it is with me, baby
You know that I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend I'm somebody else
[Verse 5]
I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I'll be guilty all the rest of my life
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do?
How come nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right?
[Verse 6]
You know, you know how it is with me, baby
You know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
