Guilty

Words & Music by Randy Newman

Ladies and gentlemen, at this point in our soul, rhythm & blues, and blues review, my brother Jake would like to become increasingly intimate with you. And he feels that he can unwind a little bit and sing a song about his personal life. Look at this! He's taking his coat off!! Now when I put this dude to bed at night, he don't take his coat off! But he's taking it off for you people. Here's my brother Jake. Thank you.

Yeah baby, yeah I've been drinkin'.
And I, I shouldn't come by, no.
But I found myself in trouble darlin',
And I had nowhere else to go.

Got some whiskey from a barman (hey baby)
I got some cocaine from my friends.
I gotta keep on movin' baby,
Till I'm back in your arms again.

Guilty, yes I'm guilty.
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life.
How come baby, how come I never do what I'm supposed to do?
How come everything I try never turns out right?

You know how it is with me baby.
You know I just can't stand myself.
It takes a whole lot of medicine darling,
for me to pretend that I'm somebody else.

Well, looks like that verdict is in. My brother Jake is guilty!
