Lovin' Come My Way
Bliss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They build me up and then they let me down
People come my way
It give me joy and then it leave me pain
Lovin' come my way
Build me up and it let me down...
Build me up and it break me down, lovin' you this way

Oh Lord, please find a way
To take me to his heart and let me stay
Without hurtin' no one
Oh Lord, please find a way
To take me to his arms and let me sway
Sway sway to the rhythm
Oh Lord, please find a way
To take me to your heart and let me stay
Let me find peace there

You know my thinking and you know it's wrong
But I can't help it, no, I'm out of control
If it's a sin I'll sin it
If there's a price for my sin I'll pay it
If it's a sin I'll sin it
If there's a price for my sin I'll pay it
It give me joy and then it leave me pain
Lovin' come my way

Build me up and it let me down...
Let judgement come my way
I said, I say, if it's a sin I'll sin it
If there's a price for my sin I'll pay it...




It give me joy and then it leave me pain
Lovin' come my way...
