| I’ve been a liar, been a thief
|
| Been a lover, been a cheat
|
| All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
|
| Well, little one, I don’t want to admit to something
|
| If all it’s gonna cause is pain
|
| Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain
|
| So let the river run
|
| He’s comin' home with his neck scratched, to catch flack
|
| Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched
|
| On his breath’s Jack, he’s a sex addict
|
| And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
|
| It’s a chess match, she’s on his back like a jet-pack
|
| She’s kept track of all his Internet chats
|
| And guess who just happens to be movin' on to the next
|
| Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks
|
| 'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
|
| And you don’t fuck with no man’s girl, even I know that
|
| But she’s devised some plan to stab him in the back
|
| Knife in hand, says their relationship’s hangin' by a strand
|
| So she’s been on the web lately
|
| Says maybe she’ll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man
|
| And I know she’s using me to try to play him, I don’t care
|
| Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda said «Bye Suzanne»
|
| After the first night, but tonight I am
|
| I’ve been a liar, been a thief
|
| Been a lover, been a cheat
|
| All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
|
| Well, little one, I don’t want to admit to something
|
| If all it’s gonna cause is pain
|
| The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
|
| So let the river run
|
| A one-night stand turned a two-night stand
|
| It was «come sunlight, scram,» now we hug tight, and…
|
| He found out, now she feels deserted and used
|
| 'Cause he left, so what? |
| He did it first to her too
|
| Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we’re through?
|
| It’s hard to find the words, I’m aloof, nervous, and Sue
|
| Don’t want this to hurt, but what you deserve is the truth
|
| Don’t take it personal, I just can’t say this in person to you
|
| So I revert to the studio, like hole-in-the-wall diners
|
| Don’t have to be reserved in a booth
|
| I just feel like the person who I’m turning into’s
|
| Irreversible, I preyed on you like it’s church at the pew
|
| And now that I got you I don’t want you
|
| Took advantage in my thirst to pursue
|
| Why do I do this dirt that I do?
|
| Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech
|
| Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound
|
| 'Cause now with her in the womb
|
| We can’t bring her in this world, shoulda knew
|
| To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit
|
| Fuck!
|
| I’ve been a liar, been a thief
|
| Been a lover, been a cheat
|
| All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
|
| Well, little one, I don’t want to admit to something
|
| If all it’s gonna cause is pain
|
| The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
|
| So let the river run
|
| My name’s (Ooh), my name’s (Ooh)
|
| River (Ooh), river run
|
| Call me (Ooh), call me (Ooh)
|
| River (Ooh), we’ll let the river run
|
| Always the bridesmaid, never «The bride, hey!»
|
| Fuck can I say? |
| If life was a highway
|
| And deceit was an enclave, I’d be swerving in five lanes
|
| Speeds at a high rate, like I’m slidin' on ice, maybe
|
| That’s why I may have came at you sideways
|
| I can’t keep my lies straight
|
| But I made you terminate my baby
|
| This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled
|
| What else can I say? |
| It was fun for a while
|
| Bet I really woulda loved your smile
|
| Didn’t really wanna abort, but fuck it
|
| What’s one more lie, to tell our unborn child?
|
| I’ve been a liar, been a thief
|
| Been a lover, been a cheat
|
| All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
|
| Well, little one (I'm sorry)
|
| I don’t want to admit to something (I fucked up)
|
| If all it’s gonna cause is pain
|
| The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain
|
| So let the river run |
