Oh Lord, gimme strength Sweet Lord, gimme love Oh Lord, gimme strength Sweet Lord, gimme love I'm not your lover, I wanna be your friend But I need something, do you comprehend? It took a long time for this heart to mend There's something wrong with the love you send Oh give me strength, oh Lord above I need some of that sweet toxic love Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins To lift me up to make me insane I'm not your punch bag I'm not your floor You can't walk on me until you get bored Before you break it, you must be sure That you can't use this love no more Oh give me strength, oh Lord above I need some of that sweet toxic love Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins To lift me up, to make me insane God would have loved you but he never had the chance Love it means nothing till it's slipping through your hands And all the people with their problems and their plans Though it's nothing new for me and you, I still know who I am Oh give me strength, oh Lord above I need some of that sweet toxic love Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins To lift me up, to make me insane Oh Lord, gimme stregth Sweet Lord, gimme love Oh Lord, gimme strength Sweet Lord, gimme love
