I swear to speak the whole truth, nothing but the truth ? oh, so help me God, I wasn?t cheating on you. Yeah I?ve got a spotty record, but I?ve been renewed. If you can?t believe me ? then what?s to believe? Once you lose the trust you lose sincerity. I?m sick and tired of acting sincere to your accusing eyes and ears.
Oh, lovers need lawyers; all that I?m screaming?s being held against me. well, You?re judge and jury, so hang me or take me for all I am worth ? better or worse.
Yeah, I was drinking. Yeah, she was drinking too, and, yeah, we made a connection ? we came from the same neighborhood. But, surely you can?t charge me for that, that?s merely fact ?merely coincidence. So, there we were, outlasting the last call. We took a cab to Iowa for more alcohol.
Yeah, we crossed the river alone; I also went home alone.
Oh lovers need lawyers. We?re talking in circles, but missing the meaning of the reason we?re fighting: you just want to make the best me that you can. All I am ? take me for all I am worth. Take me for all I am.
I could never take another?s hand? it?s to you I?m condemned.
