take me to the church

Sinead Oconnor

I don t wanna love the way I loved before
I don t wanna love that way no more
What have I been writing love songs for?
I don t want to write them anymore
I don t wanna sing from where I sang before
I don t wanna sing that way no more
What ve I ve been singing love songs for?
I don t wanna sing them anymore
I don t wanna be that girl no more
I don t wanna cry no more
I don t wanna die no more
So cut me down from this here tree
Cut the rope from off of me
Sit me on the floor
I m the only one I should adore

Oh, Take me to church
I ve done so many bad things it hurts
yeah, Take me to church
but not the ones that hurt
Cause that ain t the truth
And that s not what it s worth
Yeah, take me to church
oh, take me to church
I ve done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah, get me to church
but not the ones that hurt
Cause that ain t the truth
And that s not what it s worth

I m gonna sing songs of loving and forgiving
Songs of eating and of drinking
songs of living, songs of calling in the night
cause songs are like a bolt of light
And love s the only love you should invite
Songs of long and spiteful fails
songs that don t let you sit still
Songs that mend your broken bones
and that don t leave you alone
So get me down from this here tree
take the rope from off of me
sit me on the floor
I m the only one I should adore!

Oh, Take me to church
I ve done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah take me to church
but not the ones that hurt
Cause that ain t the truth
And that s not what it s worth
Yeah, take me to church
oh, take me to church
I ve done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah, get me to church
but not the ones that hurt
Cause that ain t the truth
And that s not what it s worth
