Beth Orton › Lyrics › God Song

My house was built for lovin', not a theater of war
I take the poison for the cure

But he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
Yeah, he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
And I'm prayin' for the strength not to carry on

Well, I've watched and learnt to lead a decent life
But meanwhile I'm dyin' inside

'Cos he's my man and I keep doin' him wrong
Yeah, he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
But I'm prayin' for the strength not to carry on

I was built for lovin', not playin' at war
And I leave justice in the good hands of the law

But he's my man and I've been doin' him wrong
Yeah, he's my man and I've done him wrong
But I'm prayin' for the strength not to carry on
