[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And when I get drunk, you take me home and keep me safe from harm When I get drunk, you take me home [Verse 2] I ask you for another second chance, but then I drink it all away And I get bellicose when you react, full of 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 [Chorus] 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 s** you dry How I s** you dry How I s** you dry How I s** you How I s** you dry How I s** you dry How I s** you dry [Verse 3] 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, and disappear without trace [Chorus] And when I get drunk, you take me home and keep me safe from harm When I get drunk, you take me home [Outro] You know, I'm grateful, I appreciate But, in fact, it's baleful how I s** you dry How I s** you dry How I s** you dry How I s** you
