guilty
(Randy Newman)

Yes, baby, I been drinkin'
And I know I shouldn't come by no more
But I found myself in trouble, darling
And I had nowhere else to go

I got some whisky from a bar
and I got some cocaine from a friend
and I just had to keep on movin', darling
Til I was back in your arms again

You know I'm guilty
Baby, 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
And it takes a whole lot of medicine, darlin'
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else
