Lyrics for Can't Come Down

Don't give a damn for money Never did I give a damn for gold Tell me, little doll, talk some sweet nothing A river runs deep and cold Don't know why but it keeps running Don't know why I can't come down Moses has stood on the mountain Devil made it thunder and rain Girl, I ain't afraid of temptation No, I ain't afraid of some pain Watchin', little doll, she just come runnin' Running straight away Straight to me, I got sweet nothing And only myself to blame I don't know why I just keep running Don't know why I can't come down Walk, don't you walk on me Don't you step, don't you step on me Don't you walk, don't walk on me Don't you step on me Don't have no thing for money Got no jones for gold All I got today is some sweet nothing Nothing to take away Don't know why I just keep running Don't know why I can't come down Don't know why, somebody Somebody hears today Don't know why, sweet nothing Nothing to take away No, I ain't afraid of temptation No, I ain't afraid of some pain No, I ain't afraid of some pain Somebody, somebody Somebody, can't come down Somebody, can't come down Can't come down Somebody, can't come down Can't come down Can't come down Don't know why I can't come down Afraid of the one thing
