Michael Peterson - Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie 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

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

Drink, swear, steal and lie
