I would tell you about the things They put me through The pain I've been subjected to But the Lord himself will blush The countless feasts laid at my feet Forbidden fruits for me to eat But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution Forgiveness for the things I do But before you come to any conclusions Try walking in my shoes You'll stumble in my footsteps Keep the same appointments I kept If you try walking in my shoes If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon Decency look down upon The scapegoat fate's made of me But I promise now, my judge and jurors My intentions could have been purer My case is easy to see I'm not looking for a clearer conscience Peace of mind after what I've been through And before we talk of any repentance Try walking in my shoes Try walking in my shoes
Is simplicity best Or simply the easiest The narrowest path Is the always the holiest So walk on barefoot for me Suffer some misery If you want my love If you want my love Man will survive The harshest conditions And stay alive Through difficult decisions So make up your mind for me Walk the line for me If you want my love If you want my love Idle talk And hollow promises Cheating Judases Doubting Thomases Don't just stand there and shout it Do something about it You can fulfil Your wildest ambitions And I'm sure you will Lose your inhibitions So open yourself for me Risk your health for me If you want my love If you want my love
Walk with me Open your sensitive mouth And talk to me Hold out your delicate hands And feel me Couldn't make any plans To conceal me
Open your sensitive mouth Hold out your delicate hands With such a sensitive mouth I'm easy to see through When I come up When I rush I rush for you
Cry for you Seen the tears Roll down from my eyes for you Heard my truth Distorting to lies for you Watched my love Becoming a prize for you
Seen the tears in my eyes Heard my truth turns to lies Seen the tears in my eyes I'm not proud of what I do When I come up When I rush I rush for you
I come up to meet you Up there somewhere When I rush to greet you My soul is bared
Gave more for you Dropped my crutches And crawled on the floor for you Went looking behind every door for you And because of the things That I saw for you I spiritually grew When I come up When I rush I rush for you
Well I'm down on my knees again And I pray to the only one Who has the strength To bear the pain To forgive all the things that I've done Oh, Girl Lead me into your darkness When this world is trying it's hardest To leave me unimpressed Oh, just one caress From you and I'm blessed
When you think you've tried every road Every avenue Take one more look At what you found old And in it you'll find something new
I'm shying from the light I always loved the night And now you offer me eternal darkness I have to believe that sin Can make a better man It's the mood that I'm in That's left us back where we began
