I love you more than any man but something's getting in the way. I do you harm because I can for the second time today. Victims we are not of happenstance. But you're a victim all the same. Stuck inside a circumstance with your confusion and your blame. [Chorus:]. And when I get drunk you take me home. And keep me safe from harm. When I get drunk you take me home. I ask you for another second chance but then I drink it all away. And I get bellicose when you react for the frustration and dismay. I was so delicate when we began. So tender when I spoke your name. But now I'm nothing but a partisan. To my compulsion and my shame. [Chorus]. You know I'm grateful - I appreciate. But in fact it's pitiful how I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. I love you more than any man but I seem to lay it all to waste. I do you harm because I can with a joke in questionable taste. I've such duplicity at my command so I keep on lying to your face. then I run away to wonderland and disappear without trace. [Chorus]. You know I'm grateful - I appreciate. But in fact it's pitiful how I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you
