Dancin' On My Grave
Sweet Cheater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking on the wire
Losing my head
Throwing gasoline on the fire
Some folks call me wild
And others call me vain
When I give you loving it you won't ever be the same
Dancin' On My Grave
Drinking with the devil
Well there ain't nobody else to blame
Dancin' On My Grave
I'm just another soul to save
Drinking with the devil
And the drinks on me
Just another girl
Just another day
You say I'm crazy
That's just my way
I like crazy women
They've got a crazy style
I don't care if I go to heaven or hell
It was all worth the while
Dancin' On My Grave
I'm just another soul to save
Drinking with the devil
Well there ain't nobody else to blame
Dancin' On My Grave
I'm just another soul to save
Drinking with the devil
Ooohh
(solo)
He was born a rebel
That's what the'll say
Died with his boots on
Did it his own way
He lived the good life
Partied every day
I don't care if I go to heaven or hell
I'm gonna have hell to pay
Dancin' On My Grave
I'm just another soul to save
Drinking with the devil
Well there ain't nobody else to blame
Dancin' On My Grave
I'm just another soul to save
Drinking with the devil
And the drinks on me
C'mon C'mon
And I'm dancin'
Dancin'
Dancin'
Yes I'm dancing
Dancing
Dancing
