Why oh why can't I lay this trouble down

Lies your lies keep comin back around

And round and round and round.

You're a shot of whisky

Straight and smooth and killing me

You're like a prayer I should pray

You're like a sad song I can't help but sing along

You're all the pleasure and the pain.

[Chorus]

Why oh why can't I lay this trouble down

Lies your lies keep comin back around

And round and round and round.

You're a lesson I can't learn

I must love gettin burned

Stop drop and roll right in the flame

You're poison in a kiss that's just the way it is

You're like the sunshine in the rain.

[Chorus]

Why oh why can't I lay this trouble down

Lies your lies keep comin back around

And round and round and round.

You say you love me say you're sorry

I believe you every word

I guess I let you like a fool

I guess I get what I deserve

Next time you say goodbye.

[Chorus]

Why oh why can't I lay this trouble down

Lies your lies keep comin back around

And round and round and round.
