Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sweet Jesus, I'm on fire
She has the sweetest, darkest side
And when it comes into her eyes
I know iron and steel couldn't hold me
[Verse 2]
Good God, I'm easily bruised
So often a moth to her flame
And the things that she's asked me to do
Will see a senior saint forgetting his name
[Verse 3]
I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm savin' the world at eight
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody's gonna have to wait
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
[Verse 4]
(Where could she be?) Was that a minute or an hour?
(Where could she be?) She turns the hours into days
Kill the phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring
[Verse 5]
(Where could she be?) No, she won't come runnin'
(Where could she be?) The world is turnin' at her pace
Kill the phone, cover the cage
And wait for the doorbell to ring
[Verse 6]
I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm savin' the world at eight
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody's gonna have to wait
[Verse 7]
I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm savin' the world at eight
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody's gonna have to wait
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
[Verse 8]
I have an audience with the Pope
And I'm savin' the world at eight
But if she says she needs me, she says she needs me
Everybody's gonna have to wait
Everybody's gonna have to wait
Uh-huh
