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 shit 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 shit 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 shit 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 shit 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
