Why Do I Still Want You

(leslie satcher)

(track 10 - time 4:39)



There's an old tear stained, worn king james

Bible on my lab

I can hear mama now say it won't let you down

And it never has

So i turned to the psalms straight to the one

That i can quote by heart

But the words that used to comfort me

Are tearing me apart



He leadeth me through death's dark valley

And by still waters too

Surely goodness and his mercy

Are gonna pull me through

But tonight i've wrestled with the devil

Wrestled with the truth

If the lord is my shepherd

And i shall not want

Why do i still want you



All my friends say this will end

You're not the one i need

'cause i'm the kind that loves for life

And you're the kind that leaves

So i've been praying and i've been waiting

For some kind of peace

But you haven't phoned and i'm leaning on

Old psalms twenty three



He leadeth me through death's dark valley

And by still waters too

Surely goodness and his mercy

Are gonna pull me through

But tonight i've wrestled with the devil

Wrestled with the truth

If the lord is my shepherd

And i shall not want

Why do i still want you



Yeah tonight i've wrestled with the devil

Wrestled with the truth

If the lord is my shepherd

And i shall not want

Why do i still want you
