Guilty
Jesper Munk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah Babe, well I've been drinking
And I shouldn't have come by no
But I found myself in trouble darling
And I had nowhere elso to go
Well I got some Whisky from the barman
Well i got some Cocaine from my friends
And I gotta keep on, keep on moving babe til I'm back in your arms again
That's why I'm guilty, yes I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my time
I tell my babe how come I never do,
What I'm supposed to do?
And how come everything I try never turns out right?

You know it how is with my babe
So you know I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine




For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
I guess I'm guilty...
