Lyrics

NOT ON MY KNEES
Copyright Alan Turin (tune: Abilene)

I been cryin' all your tears, weeks 'n months, 'n years 'n years
Even as I sing this song, It's all wrong, wrong, so wrong

What you want, I ain't got, What I am, you don't want
Loving you's a mystery, Ends with me losin' me.

I been down on bended knees, Tryin' to find some way to please
Can't be done, better cut 'n run, Spend some time in the sun

Can't be done, can't be done, Guess that I'm just not the one
somewhere along the line, Gotta please me some of the time

Gonna please me along the line, Gonna please me more of the time
I'd really like to meet your needs. Not on my knees, Lord. not on my knees.
