Lyrics for I Don't Wanna Talk About It Now

God knows how I love you Like a user needs a drug And I'll never be free of ya You are poison in my blood I tried to swim that river And get to higher ground But I've been three times under The next one'll see me drown But I don't want to talk about it now I don't want to talk about it now I don't want to talk about it now I wanna go down God knows why you don't want me No one would do the things I do But to my grave, it's gonna haunt me How I got down on my knees for you You are my obsession And the reason that I live You already got my soul There's nothing left to give But I don't want to talk about it now I don't want to talk about it now I don't want to talk about it now I wanna go down I don't want to talk about it I don't want to talk about it The Devil is deep water, baby And I'm in way over my head But I'd be drawn and quartered If I could keep you in my bed I can't break this spell I know the trouble that I'm in But if I got out of the mouth of Hell I'd walk right back again So I don't want to talk about it now I don't want to talk about it now I don't want to talk about it now I wanna go down I wanna go down I wanna go down
