Yeah, baby I've been drinkin'
And I shouldn't of come round here I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I've got no place else to go
Cause I'm guilty, I'm guilty
Looks like I'll be guilty all my life
Cause I just can't be what you want me to be
Every time I try nothing seems to work out right
Got some whiskey from the barroom
Got some cocaine from a friend
And I thought if I could just keep on movin'
I'd get you in my lonesome arms again
Cause I'm guilty, I'm guilty
Look like I'll be guilty for all my life
Cause I just can't do what you want me to do
Every time I try nothing seems to work out right
So you see how it is with me baby
Sometimes I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine
To make me believe I'm somebody else
To make me leave that whiskey on the shelf"
