Hate runs through my blood
But my tongue was in love
But my heart was left above
I've gotta leave you now
I thought I'd never be shot down
But girl, I'm black and blue
So beaten down for you
Well, I'm beaten down and blue Don't break away
I'll waste away
Don't break away Lay me out across the grain
Hours I should have kept at bay
I had no chance to get away
I can't escape my own escape
Even more when it's sweet to taste
Red stares lead sense astray
I look up and see for faith
But girl, just lean over and say
"Lay me down"
you take my crown girl
but she submerse me down sorry
