  • 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 for
    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 for

    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 for
    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 for Writer/s: GRAHAM KEARNS, JOHN CHARLES REYNOLDS, SINEAD MARIE BERNARDE O'CONNOR
