Lyrics
"On My Knees"
©2009 Capers Simmons (ASCAP)
VERSE I
Deck me like an uppercut,
Wreck me like a pileup.
Move along there's nothing to see
You rubbernecker.
Thought I'd get a piece of you
And bit off more than I could chew,
Swallow, spit or sip through a straw--
You're indigestible.
PRECHORUS I
Got me by my throat--just squeeze
CHORUS
'Cause I don't even really care
So why don't I just leave?
'Cause we don't even have a prayer,
So why am I on my knees?
VERSE II
Dunk me like a tidal wave,
Dump me in a shallow grave.
Night of the Living Date!
We're incompatible.
Lock and load like firearms
Shotgun wedding - what's the harm?
I could say "I do" or "I don't"--
It's immaterial.
PRECHORUS II
I'm not on your side or mine.
~ CHORUS ~
BRIDGE
I've been lost and found--have you seen me?
I've been gagged and bound, so why say please?
CHORUS II
'Cause I don't even really care
So why don't I just leave?
'Cause we don't even have a prayer,
Why still do this? 'Cause you're not worth it.
Why am I on my knees?
Amen!
