Guilty Lyrics
Yeah baby, I've been drinking,
and I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling,
and I had no place else to go
Got some whiskey from a bar man,
got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving,
till I was back in your arms again
----
Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty,
I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do,
what I'm supposed to do
Nothing that I try to do ever turns out right
----
Well you know how it is with me baby,
you know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine,
for me to pretend to be somebody else.
and I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling,
and I had no place else to go
got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving,
till I was back in your arms again
----
Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty,
I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do,
what I'm supposed to do
Nothing that I try to do ever turns out right
----
Well you know how it is with me baby,
you know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine,
for me to pretend to be somebody else.

Powerful rendition from Bonnie of a Randy Newman song. Someone who has sunken to the bottom and come to the realization that the one thing he/she should have held onto was their love.
@muzeecal - Unless every source is wrong, this comment is old but still wrong. Raitt's cover is of a John Prine song.
