Love is my wine and I drink it by the cup I swallow my pride when I'm swallowing a gulp If it spills down the side, I don't go insane I don't have my wine but I still have the stain Love is my wine and you can drink it till you're drunk But you ain't got sh** if you ain't got funk Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat People ask me why I scream so much It's just my old friend anger and we keep in touch But I haven't lost my temper in the last few months And I have to admit it's been getting tough But I respect people & the way they dress I understand a man has got to express But what's a gun to a fist? What the hell is this? On my philosophy goes like this Love is my wine and I drink it by the cup I swallow my pride when I'm swallowing a gulp If it spills down the side, I don't go insane I don't have my wine but I still have the stain Love is my wine and you can drink it till you're drunk But you ain't got sh** if you ain't got funk Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat Gibbedy gab gab on the telephone You're never home, I get the answering machine's def-tone so I recite a poem But my bill's so big I'm gonna need a loan Banker banker thank you for the money In-state rate to communicate with my honey Should be a crime to charge me so much For me and my baby to reach out and touch Love is my wine and I drink it by the cup I swallow my pride when I'm swallowing a gulp If it spills down the side, I don't go insane I don't have my wine but I still have the stain Love is my wine and you can drink it till you're drunk But you ain't got sh** if you ain't got funk Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat Do it again, tomorrow Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat Do it again, tomorrow Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat Half this time I've been half awake I didn't mean to miss your birthday So I'll bake you a birthday cake I may not have the table manners that Are expected from your mom & dad And I didn't get around to combing my hair So I bought me a brand new hat Love is my wine and I drink it by the cup I swallow my pride when I'm swallowing a gulp If it spills down the side, I don't go insane I don't have my wine but I still have the stain Love is my wine and you can drink it till you're drunk But you ain't got sh** if you ain't got funk Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat Do it again, tomorrow Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat Do it again, tomorrow Like the peace to release by the souls of your feet And you sing a simple song to a simple beat
