Lovers Need Lawyers - The Good Life

I swear to speak the whole truth

Nothing but the truth

Oh, so help me God I wasn’t cheating on you

Yeah, I’ve 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 that I’m worth

Better or worse

Yeah, I was drinking

Yeah, she was drinking too

Yeah, we made a connection

We came from the same neighborhood

Surely you can’t charge me for that

That’s merely fact, merely coincidence

So there we were, out last at last call

We took a cab to Iowa for more alcohol

Yeah, we crossed the river, I know

I also went home alone

Oh, lovers need lawyers

Talking in circles but missing the meaning

Of the reason we’re fighting

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

Make the best me that you can

Make the best me that you can
