If you understand me now, well, here's a promise
From every single piece of my body
That though I've fallen at every corner
I'll ask not for shelter or for charity
For what you needed, I could not give you
For all the love and money in this world

All I wanted was to believe in somebody
Never thought I would feel this way
All I wanted was to believe in somebody
Never thought I would see the day

Just like my father I still love him
But it's not easy, no not never
Still it goes on, these roots run deep
Beneath the lies that we speak
Thick as thieves, us laughing up our sleeves
Until we learn to steal from each other

All I wanted was to believe in somebody
Never thought I would feel this way
All I wanted was to believe in somebody
Never thought I would see the day

Come on down, come on down into my kitchen
I've got some stories, I've got some stories to tell

If you understand me now, well, here's a promise
From every single piece of my body
That though I've fallen at every corner
I'll ask not for shelter or for charity
All I wanted ...
