Lyrics The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless

Goin' Down

Hey there father I don't want to bother you,

But I've got a sin to confess

I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean

Do you mind if I take off my dress

I don't know where to start,

So let me get to the good parts

You might want to cross up your legs

I've got envy I've got greed,

Anything that you need and I'm not above having to beg

There was this boy who

Tore my heart in two

And I had to lay him eight feet under ground

Now all I need is someone to save me

'Cause I am going down

And what I need is someone to save me

'Cause I am going down

All the way down

Well hey there father there is just one other thing,

I have a simple request,

I hear you know god could you give him a nod in my direction,

I would be in your debt, perhaps

There is something that we could work out,

I noticed your breathing has started to change,

We could go in the back behind all

These stacks of bibles and get out of this cage

There was this boy who

Tore my heart in two

And I had to lay him eight feet under ground

Now all I need is someone to save me

'Cause I am going down

And what I need is someone to save me

'Cause I am going down

All the way down

I didn't wanna do it father but I caught him

With another woman in the bed I made

And so I put him in the grave

And now there's no one left around

To get me off when I want its a drag

The next day on the television they identified him

By the circumcision that I made

And now I'm on the run but wait

Why did I have to go and kill him

When he was the best I ever had

All I need is someone to save me

'Cause god I'm going down

And what I need is something to save me

'Cause god I'm going down

All the way down
