River

作词 : Marshall Mathers

作曲 : Marshall Mathers

I've been a liar, been a thief

Been a lover, been a cheat

All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me

A little one, I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna cause is pain

Truth in 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 breast jackets is *** addict

And she just wants to exact revenge and get back

It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jetpack

She's kept track of all his internet chats

And guess who just happens to be moving on to the next?

Actually, just shit on my last chick

And she has what my ex lacks

'Cause she loves danger, psychopath

And you don't **** 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 Suzanne, but I shoulda' said "Bye Suzanne"

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 washin' over me

A little one, I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna cause is pain

The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

One night stand turned into night stand

It was cold, some lights gram, y'all be hung 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 and suited

When it's too 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 turnin' into is

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 of my thirst to pursue

Why do I do this dirt that I do?

Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon in speech

Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb

'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

****!

I've been a liar, been a thief

Been a lover, been a cheat

All my sins need holy water, feel it washin' over me

A little one, I don't want to admit to something

If all it's gonna cause is pain

The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run

My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)

Denver, river run

Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)

River (ooh), we'll let the river run

Always the bride's maid, never "The bride, hey!"

**** can I say? If life was a highway

The sequels are non-clay

But be swerving in five lanes

Speeds that are high, rave like I'm sliding on ice maybe

That's what I made, that 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

That I really woulda loved your smile

Didn't really wanna abort

But **** 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 washin' over me

A little one,

I don't want to admit to something (I'm sorry, I ****ed up)

If all it's gonna cause is pain

The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain

So let the river run
