Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yes, baby, I been drinkin'
I shouldn't come by, no, no
But I found myself in trouble, darlin'
And I had no place else to go
[Verse 2]
I got some whiskey, yeah, from a barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
And I had keep on movin', baby
Till I was back in your arms again
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm guilty
Honey, I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do
What I'm supposed to do?
Nothin' I try to do ever turns out right
[Verse 4]
You know how it is with me, baby
You know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine, darlin'
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
