You've got me
going to the river to pray
gotta wash these sins away
but ain't no water gonna wash your hands off me
Yeah, you've got me
down on my knees
begging, begging, begging please
for mercy
take your hands off me
And they can call me a sinner
I've only got one heart
and you ate my soul for dinner
devoured me from the start
Yes, I'm going down
down to the river to pray
but no water gonna take this hold off me
Oh you've got me down on my knees
begging, begging, begging please
someone help me
get your devil out of me
I hear the willows whispering
telling lies all in the wind
and I'm drifting with the current
just let the water take me in
Because this desire
ain't no fire
on my funeral pyre
ain't no water gonna take your hands off me
