And the fear upon my shoulder And my body getting older Will he want me when he's sober Close my eyes and bend me over What was I thinking What was I thinking What was I thinking Dear God, can you lift me up Can you take me higher Dear God, can you lift me up Keep me from the fire And all the neighbors whisper: Isn't it a shame? That little girl we knew has surely gone insane Now my teeth are getting longer And my will is getting stronger When she's wilting will you want her Do your worst and roll me over What was I thinking What was I thinking What was I thinking Dear God, can you lift me up Can you take me higher Dear God, can you lift me up Keep me from the fire And all the neighbors whisper: Isn't it a shame? That little girl we knew has clearly gone insane I just wanna go to heaven I don't wanna stay in hell I just wanna stay in heaven And I'll be well I'll be well And the fear upon my shoulder And my body getting colder When she's crying will you hold her Wake me up let this be over Dear God, can you lift me up Can you take me higher Dear God, can you lift me up Keep me from the fire Dear God, can you lift me up Can you take me higher Dear God, can you lift me up Keep me from the fire And all the neighbors run and hide their kids away That little girl they knew has surely gone insane
