With God I Can
Bishop Larry Trotter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't wanna hurt me, but you've just gotta have him
And how will I take it you want to know
Well, if you can live with it, I can live without it
If you can face your conscience, I can face my pride
If you can live with it, I can live without it
'Cause I did the only thing I could do, baby, I tried
Can you really take your rings off without feeling kinda dirty?
Can you really kiss him while you're wearing my name?
Can you run your fingers all across his body
Without missin' me a little and feeling ashamed?
If you can live with it, I can live without it
If you can face your conscience, I can face my pride
If you can live with it, I can live without it
'Cause I did the only thing I could do, baby, I tried
You say, you're gonna leave me, pack up and go
You don't wanna hurt me, but you've just gotta have him
