(The Backroom Boys)
How can you say, "I love you"
When you mock me the way you do ?
How can I but your heart despise
When all you give to me are lies ?
Love is just an empty word
And no true sentiment conferred
You offer love that's incomplete
I've looked for trust but found deceit
How can you say, "I love you"
(Please don't vex my soul this way)
When you mock me the way you do ?
(Tormenting me from day to day)
How can I but your heart despise
(I cannot keep my mind from you)
When all you give to me are lies ?
(I'll tell you what you want me to)
Love is just an empty word
(God provides my strength and might)
And no true sentiment conferred
(For I have been a Nazirite)
You offer love that's incomplete
(Cut my hair and as I speak,)
I've looked for trust but found deceit
(Like other men, I shall be weak)Well I met her yesterday, She just came into my way, And I was so surprised
She told me that she loved me, Always would be true to me, Never tell no lies to me
She said her love was free, And I thought that I might, Just take a chance on her
Try hard to get into her, You know what I did
I told her that I love her, Told her that I care, I said I'd be free to ride
And to do it anywhere, Never want no love affair, I just like the clothes you wear
There's one thing I gotta do, Before I kiss you
(I wanna beer and a cigarette), I've got to get myself an ice cold beer, (I wanna beer and a cigarette)
And I need a cigarette, Well I, I didn't come here for no fix, I just need a beer
(I wanna beer and a cigarette), Oh babe, I got to get myself, (I need a beer and a cigarette)
Lord, theres only 2 things on my mind, (I wanna beer and a cigarette), Too much ain't enough
(I need a beer and a cigarette), Well and a cigarette, and beer
