Guilty

Yeah baby, I've been drinking,
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling,
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whiskey from a bar man,
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving
Till I was back in your arms again
Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty
I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do
What I'm supposed to do
How come nothing that I try to do ever turns out right
Well 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 to be somebody else
