lyrics

Black coffee, straight whiskey, and unfiltered cigarettes
I've got my ways to speed the days up
And pry my mind away from
The grips of regret

But baby's got a mind of her own
Everybody's got their own way of losing control

I got a steadier hand
Since I cut back on the wine
My heart’s still black as the sea
Something is twisted inside
I do not trust my own mind
No longer love the tricks it plays on me

Mmm

The first one is to take the edge off
The second's cause the first tastes so good
The third one, that’s for fun
Why take the edge off now? Take my whole head off, oh

Baby's got a mind of her own
Everybody's got their own way of losing control

I got a steadier hand
Since I cut back on the wine
My heart’s still black as the sea
Something is twisted inside
I do not trust my own mind
No longer love the tricks it plays on me

Mmm

Baby's got a mind of her own
(Baby’s got a mind of her own)
Ah, baby's got a mind of her own

I got a steadier hand
I cut back on the wine
My heart is black
My heart’s still black
Something is twisted inside
I do not trust my own mind
No longer love the tricks it plays on
I no longer

Have a steadier hand
Since I cut back on the wine
My heart’s still black as the sea
Something is twisted inside
I do not trust my own mind
No longer love the tricks it plays me

Yeah I got a steadier hand
Since I cut back on the wine
My heart’s still black as the sea
Something is twisted inside
I do not trust my own mind
No longer love the tricks it plays me

Mmm
