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 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. 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 How I suck you dry
