Guilty Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, baby, I've been drinkin'
Shouldn't come by anymore
But I found myself in trouble, darlin'
And I have no place else to go

[Verse 2]
I got some whiskey from a bottle
Got some cocaine from a friend
And I had to keep on movin', darlin'
'Til I was back in your arms again

[Chorus]
And I'm guilty, I am guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I'm never gonna do what I'm supposed to do?
Seems like everything I do never turns out right

[Verse 3]
That's how it is with me, darlin'
You know I just can't stand myself
But it takes a whole lot of medicine, darlin'
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
