Eminem - River

[00:00.01] I've been a liar, been a thief

[00:02.65] Been a lover, been a cheat

[00:04.95] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[00:10.75] Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

[00:14.56] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[00:16.65] Truth and my lies right now are falling like the rain

[00:20.90] So let the river run

[00:21.95] He's comin' home with his neck scratched, to catch flack

[00:24.72] Sweat jackets and dress slacks, mismatched

[00:27.28] On his breath's Jack, he's a sex addict

[00:29.26] And she just wants to exact revenge and get back

[00:31.93] It's a chess match, she's on his back like a jet-pack

[00:35.11] She's kept track of all his Internet chats

[00:37.32] And guess who just happens to be movin' on to the next

[00:39.83] Actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks

[00:43.66] 'Cause she loves danger, psychopath

[00:45.90] And you don't fuck with no man's girl, even I know that

[00:48.70] But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back

[00:51.13] Knife in hand, says their relationship's hangin' by a strand

[00:53.73] So she's been on the web lately

[00:56.01] Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy, to spite her man

[00:59.14] And I know she's using me to try to play him, I don't care

[01:02.80] Hi Suzanne, but I shoulda said "Bye Suzanne"

[01:04.66] After the first night, but tonight I am

[01:06.81] I've been a liar, been a thief

[01:09.69] Been a lover, been a cheat

[01:11.42] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[01:16.87] Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

[01:20.77] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[01:23.44] The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

[01:27.62] So let the river run

[01:28.77] A one-night stand turned a two-night stand

[01:30.73] It was "come sunlight, scram," now we hug tight, and

[01:33.51] He found out, now she feels deserted and used

[01:36.00] 'Cause he left, so what? He did it first to her too

[01:38.88] Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?

[01:41.56] It's hard to find the words, I'm aloof, nervous, and Sue

[01:44.23] Don't want this to hurt, but what you deserve is the truth

[01:46.36] Don't take it personal, I just can't say this in person to you

[01:49.96] So I revert to the studio, like hole-in-the-wall diners

[01:53.37] Don't have to be reserved in a booth

[01:54.76] I just feel like the person who I'm turning into's

[01:57.22] Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew

[02:00.10] And now that I got you I don't want you

[02:01.96] Took advantage in my thirst to pursue

[02:03.58] Why do I do this dirt that I do?

[02:05.41] Get on my soapbox and preach, my sermon and speech

[02:08.14] Detergent and bleach is burnin' the wound

[02:10.05] 'Cause now with her in the womb

[02:11.49] We can't bring her in this world, shoulda knew

[02:13.66] To use protection 'fore I bit into your forbidden fruit (Fuck!)

[02:15.91] I've been a liar, been a thief

[02:18.23] Been a lover, been a cheat

[02:20.90] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[02:25.99] Well, little one, I don't want to admit to something

[02:30.05] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[02:32.66] The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

[02:36.92] So let the river run

[02:38.00] My name's (ooh), my name's (ooh)

[02:40.26] River (ooh), river run

[02:43.40] Call me (ooh), call me (ooh)

[02:45.85] River (ooh), we'll let the river run

[02:48.68] Always the bridesmaid, never "The bride, hey!"

[02:51.37] Fuck can I say? If life was a highway

[02:53.98] And deceit was an enclave, I'd be swerving in five lanes

[02:56.61] Speeds at a high rate, like I'm slidin' on ice, maybe

[02:59.54] That's why I may have came at you sideways

[03:02.18] I can't keep my lies straight

[03:03.41] But I made you terminate my baby

[03:06.98] This love triangle left us in a wreck, tangled

[03:09.16] What else can I say? It was fun for a while

[03:11.66] Bet I really woulda loved your smile

[03:13.80] Didn't really wanna abort, but fuck it

[03:15.94] What's one more lie, to tell our unborn child?

[03:17.30] I've been a liar, been a thief

[03:19.63] Been a lover, been a cheat

[03:22.60] All my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me

[03:27.79] Well, little one (I'm sorry)

[03:29.55] I don't want to admit to something (I fucked up)

[03:31.64] If all it's gonna cause is pain

[03:34.30] The truth and my lies now are falling like the rain

[03:38.39] So let the river run
