Tempting Fate
(music & lyrics by Lee Lawless)


You're so damn smart, I know that you know
that you have got me mad beguiled
I'd do the worst, and all that's cursed
if only first, I know you'll smile

You're so damn good, I think that you think
I'll shut up if you go away
Well, I'm sorry to have clamored, but I'm just so damn enamored
I'll shut up for what you say - hey, hey

(‘Cause you know that...)

Our future's least is more than our past's most
‘Cause you know that we're both haunted by that same great Holy Ghost
If I gotta try, I gotta try the best that I can do
And you know I know it's worth it, ‘cause I only try for you

(When I say...)

Goddamn, darlin',
You're just so worth it
It's been so long, what we got, we both deserve it
And I just want to belong with you, but how to word it?
Goddamn, darlin'
You're so worth it

You're so damn hot, I wish that you wish
you want me not to ever go
You might think I'm playin', but you'll always have a way in
Thought I'd tell you, so you know

You're so damn strong, I dream that you dream
we'll get it right eventually
And I guess it should be noted, even though we're not devoted
when I got you I gloated
Guess I just can't let you be

(Because I...)

Like you too much, try as I may, I can't ignore you
Yes, I like you too much
but am I good enough for you?
If I've gotta drink, I've gotta drink
so hard my will breaks free
‘Cause I don't believe in fate
I just hope fate believes in me

(When I say...)

Goddamn, darlin'
you're just so worth it
It's been so long, what we've got, we can't disturb it
And I know I must be wrong, but I consider you perfect
Goddamn, darllin'
you're so worth it

If I gotta drink, I gotta drink
the best that I can do
And you know I know it's worth it
Drinking, thinking about you

I'm singing whiskey, whiskey, why can't you fix me, oh
Whiskey, whiskey, that taste when you kiss me, oh
Whiskey, whiskey, why can't you fix me, oh
Whiskey, whiskey, that taste when you kiss me, ohhhh...  ^
