I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washing over me
Oh, little one
I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth and my lies right now
are falling like the rain
So let the river run
He's coming home with his neck
scratched, to catch flack
Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatch
On his breath's Jack, he's a s addict
And she just wants to
e act revenge and get back
It's a chess match, she's
on his back like a jet pack
She's kept track of
all his Internet chats
And guess who just happens
to be moving on to the ne t?
Actually, just s t on my last
chick and she has what my e lacks
'Cause she loves danger, psychopath
And you don't f k with no
man's girl, even I know that
But she's devised some plan
to stab him in the back
Knife in hand, says the
relationship's hanging by a strand
So she's been on the web lately
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen
Stacy, to spite her man
And I know she's using me to
try to play him, I don't care
Hi Susanne, but I shoulda
said “Bye Susanne
After the first night, but tonight I am
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washing over me
Oh, little one
I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
The truth and my lies now
are falling like the rain
So let the river run
One night stand, turned
into night staying
He was calling so might
scram, now we hug tight and
He found out, now she
feels deserted and used
'Cause he left, so what?
He did it first to her too
Now how am I supposed to tell
this girl that we're through?
It's hard to find the words,
I'm aloof, nervous, ensued
Don’t want us to hurt, but
what you deserve is the truth
Don't take it personal, I just
can't say this in person to you
So I revert to the studio
like hole in the wall diners
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
I just feel like the person
who I'm turning into's
Irreversible, I preyed on you
like it's church at the pew
And now that I got you I don't want you
Took advantage in my thirst to pursue
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
Get on my soapbo and
preach, my sermon and speech
Detergent and bleach
is burning the wound
'Cause now with her in the womb
We can't bring her in
this world, shoulda knew
To use protection 'fore I bit
into your forbidden fruit
F k!
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washing over me
Oh, little one
I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
The truth and my lies now
are falling like the rain
So let the river run
My name's
(ooh)
my name's
(ooh)
Denver
(ooh)
river run
Call me
(ooh)
call me
(ooh)
River
(ooh)
we'll let the river run
Always the bridesmaid,
never “The bride, hey!
F k can I say? If life was a highway
The seat was an enclave, I'd
be swerving in five lanes
Speeds at a high rate, like
I'm sliding on ice, maybe
That's why I may have
came at you sideways
I can't keep my lies straight
What I made you terminate, my baby
This love triangle left
us in a wreck, tangled
What else can I say?
It was fun for a while
Bet I really woulda loved your smile
Didn't really wanna abort, but f k it
What's one more lie, to
tell an unborn child?
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washing over me
Oh, little one
(I'm sorry)
I don't want to admit to
something
(I f ked up)
If all it's gonna cause is pain
The truth and my lies now
are falling like the rain
So let the river run
