rate me

I can’t stand to see it no more<br>The way you’re living with a goddess but you treat her like a slave<br>And you can’t hold her back anymore<br>She’s like a dreamer in a dungeon or an angel in a cave<br>Chorus:<br><br>And I’ll be closer to you now than any other boy<br>And you know that what I’m saying is true<br>You’re gonna break her up and tear her down and fade her away<br>And then there’s no telling what I’m gonna do<br><br>I’ll make you pay for everything that you do<br>I’ll make you pay for everything that you do<br><br>But if you give me your girl, and then you give me your trust<br>And if you give me till the end of the night<br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br>I’m gonna give her everything you always wanted to give<br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br>I’m gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live<br><br>I’ll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun<br>You turned her into a ghost but she’ll be burning when the night is done<br>I’ll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun<br>You turned her into a ghost but she’ll be burning when the night is done<br><br>You gotta give me your girl and your trust<br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br><br>You can’t hide away anymore<br>You had a chance but you blew it and you’ll never get it back<br>And your holiness was never so pure<br>She needs a fire in the heart and not a stabbing in the back<br><br>Chorus<br><br>When the screws are tightnin’ and the tears are falling<br>I can hear her crying out to be saved<br>And like a bolt of lightning I go answer the call<br>But she’s singing like a siren to me over the waves<br><br>I never wanted to take away your lover<br>Until I heard her crying out to be saved<br>I always thought of you as one of my brothers<br>But she’s singing like a siren to me over the waves<br>Singing like a siren to me over the waves<br>There ain’t no holding me down!<br><br>(instrumental break)<br><br>I’ll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun<br>You turned her into a ghost but she’ll be burning when the night is done<br>I’ll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun<br>You turned her into a ghost but she’ll be burning when the night is done<br>You gotta give me your girl and your trust<br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br><br>I’m gonna love her for both of us, I’m gonna love her for both of us<br><br>(1):<br><br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br>(gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)<br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br>(gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)<br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br>(gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)<br><br>(1) repeats 3x<br><br>I’m gonna love her for both of us<br>(gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)<br><br>(1) repeats out
