Take Me Down
Williams Holly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me there, I got me to you
Baby, I could do better, but I don't care
It's all the same when it's killing you
Please don't leave me, though my heart is black and blue
My love, deceive me
I'll believe you
It's a naive world who loves the pain
The more it hurts, the more we gain
And I talk to God, but I got no prayers
I don't wanna rise out of this hell
Please don't leave me, though my heart is black and blue
My love, deceive me
I'll believe you, I'll believe you
Take Me Down
I'll please you in the morning light
When you're done, you leave my bed
And I've known all along that this ain't right
I give, I give, I give
You only take
Please don't leave me...
