Guilty

Bonnie Raitt · The Essentials [WEA International] [2005]

Yes baby, I been drinkin'

And I shouldn't come by, I know

But I found myself in trouble, darlin'

And I had nowhere place else to go



I got some whisky, yeah, from the barman

Got some cocaine from a friend

And I had to keep on movin', baby

Til I was back in your arms again



Well I'm guilty, honey I'm guilty

And I'll be guilty the rest of my life

How come I never do what I'm supposed to do?

Nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right



You know how it is with me, baby

You know I just can't stand myself

It takes a whole lot of medicine, darlin'

For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
