Lovers Need Lawyers

I swear to speak the whole truth

Nothing but the truth

Oh, so help me God

I wasn't cheating on you

Yeah, I got a spotty record

But I've been renewed



If you can't believe me

Then what's to believe?

Once you lose the trust you lose sincerity

I'm sick and tired of acting sincere

To your accusing eyes and ears



Oh, lovers need lawyers

All that I'm screaming's being held against me

Well, you're judge and jury

So hang me and take me for all I am worth

Better or worse



Yeah, I was drinking

Yeah, she was drinking too

And yeah, we made a connection

We came from the same neighborhood

Surely you can't charge me for that

No, that's merely fact

Merely coincidence



So there we were

Outlasting last call

We took a cab to Iowa for more alcohol

Yeah, we crossed the river alone

I also went home alone



Oh, lovers need lawyers

Talking in circles but missing the meaning of

The reason we're fighting

You just want to make the best me that you can



All I am

Take me for all I am worth

Take me for all I am



I could never take another's hand

It's to you I'm condemned

I could never take another's hand

It's to you I'm condemned

I could never take another's hand

It's to you I'm condemned

I could never take another's hand

I could never take another's hand

I could never take another's hand

I could never take another's hand

No, I could never take another's hand

No, I could never take another's hand

I could never take another's hand

It's to you I'm condemned



Make the best me that you can

Make the best me that you can
