Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't stand to see it no more
The way you're livin' with a goddess
But you treat her like a slave
And you can't hold her back anymore
She's like a dreamer in a dungeon
Or an angel in a cave
[Verse 2]
And I'll be closer to you now than any other boy
And you know what I'm sayin' is true
You're gonna break her up and tear her down and fade her away
And then there's no tellin' what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
[Verse 3]
But if you give me your girl and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live
[Verse 4]
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burnin' when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burnin' when the night is done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us
[Verse 5]
You can't hide away anymore
You had a chance, but you blew it
And you'll never get it back
And your holiness was never so pure
She needs a fire in the heart
And not a stabbin' in the back
[Verse 6]
And I've been closer to you now than any other boy
And you know what I'm sayin' is true
You're gonna break her up and tear her down and fade her away
And then there's no tellin' what I'm gonna do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
I'll make you pay for everything that you do
[Verse 7]
But if you give me your girl and then you give me your trust
And if you give me till the end of the night
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live
[Verse 8]
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burnin' when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burnin' when the night is done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us
[Verse 9]
When the screws are tightenin' and the tears are falling
I can hear her cryin' out to be saved
And like a bolt of lightnin' I go answer the call
But she's singin' like a siren to me over the waves
[Verse 10]
I never wanted to take away your lover
Till I heard her cryin' out to be saved
I always thought of you as one of my brothers
But she's singin' like a siren to me over the waves
Singin' like a siren to me over the waves
There ain't no holdin' me down
[Verse 11]
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burnin' when the night is done
I'll let her shine like a jewel in the crown of the holy sun
You turned her into a ghost, but she'll be burnin' when the night is done
You gotta give me your girl and your trust
I'm gonna love her for both of us
[Verse 12]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
I'm gonna love her for both of us
[Verse 13]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)
[Verse 14]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)
[Verse 15]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)
[Verse 16]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)
[Verse 17]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)
[Verse 18]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)
[Verse 19]
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna give her everything you always wanted to give)
I'm gonna love her for both of us
(I'm gonna take her every moment that she wanted to live)
[Verse 20]
I'm gonna love her for both of us...
