Lyrics

Guilty

Yes, baby, I been drinkin'

And I shouldn't come by no

But I found myself in trouble

And I had nowhere else to go

Got some whisky from the barman

Got some cocaine from a friend

I just had to keep on movin'

Til I was back in your arms again

Guilty, I'm guilty

And I'll be guilty 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?

You know how it is with me baby

You know, I just can't stand myself

And it takes a whole lot of medicine

For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
