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 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 How I suck you dry
