Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why, oh, why can't I lay this trouble down?
Lies, your lies keep coming back around
And round, and round, and round
[Verse 2]
You're a shot of whiskey
Straight and smooth and killing me
You're like a prayer I shouldn't pray
You're like a sad song, I can't help but sing along
You're all the pleasure and the pain
[Verse 3]
Why, oh, why can't I lay this trouble down?
Lies, your lies keep coming back around
And round, and round, and round
[Verse 4]
You're a lesson I can't learn
I must love gettin' burned
Stop, drop, and roll right in the flame
You're poison in a kiss
That's just the way it is
You're like the sunshine in the rain
[Verse 5]
Why, oh, why can't I lay this trouble down?
Lies, your lies keep coming back around
And round, and round, and round
[Verse 6]
You say you love me, say you're sorry
I believe your every word
I guess I let you, like a fool
I guess I get what I deserve
Next time you say goodbye
[Verse 7]
Why, oh, why can't I lay this trouble down?
Lies, your lies keep coming back around
And round, and round
[Verse 8]
Oh, why, oh, why can't I lay this trouble down?
It's always your lies, your lies keep coming back around
And round, and round, and round
[Verse 9]
Why, oh why?
Why, oh why?
