Ministers of religion have visited me many times to talk about it They say to me I gotta leave it I gotta leave it It's a bad habit for a man But when I try to leave it my friends keep telling me I'm a fool amongst fools
Chorus: Now I'm a slave, a slave I'm a slave I'm a liquor slave I'm a slave, a slave, slave I'm a slave Just a liquor slave
I have lost my dignity I had before trying to please everybody Some say to me yo yo I look better when I'm drunk Some say no no no I look bad you know Sometimes I cry I cry but my crying never helps me none
Chorus: 'Cos now I am a slave, a slave I'm a slave I'm just a liquor slave I am a slave, a prisoner I'm a slave Just a liquor slave
Every night when I'm coming back home My wife gets worried 'cos she knows Shes got double trouble coming home Sometimes I cry I cry lord I cry But my crying never helps me
