I love you more than any man,
But something's getting in the way.
I do you harm because I can,
For the second time today.
Victims we are not of happenstance,
But you're a victim all the same.
Stuck inside a circumstance,
With your confusion and your blame.
And when I get drunk,
You take me home
And keep me safe
From harm.
When I get drunk,
You take me home.
I ask you for another second chance,
But then I drink it all away.
And I get bellicose when you react,
For love, frustration and dismay.
I was so delicate when we began,
So tender when I spoke your name.
But now I'm nothing but a partisan,
To my compulsion and my shame.
And when I get drunk,
You take me home
And keep me safe
From harm.
When I get drunk,
You take me home.
You know I'm grateful,
I appreciate.
But in fact it's baleful,
How I suck you dry
How I suck you dry
How I suck you dry
How I suck you
How I suck you dry
How I suck you dry
I love you more than any man,
But I seem to lay it all to waste.
I do you harm because I can,
With a joke in questionable taste.
I've such duplicity at my command,
So I keep on lying to your face.
Then I run away to wonderland,
Disappear without a trace.
When I get drunk,
You take me home
And keep me safe
From harm.
When I get drunk,
You take me home
You know I'm grateful,
I appreciate.
But in fact it's baleful,
How I suck you dry
How I suck you dry
How I suck you dry
How I suck you
How I suck you dry
How I suck you dry
