LYRICS

Give you my word, you can take it

I'm as pure as the driven snow

I'll make a promise; I'll never break it

And nobody will ever know

I'm supposed to be a saint so I fake it

Yeah my stash is beginning to grow

Just look at me, I'm so easy

Dressed to kill, my teeth are clean(FILL 1)

I'm feeling good, I'm feeling sleazy(FILL 2)

I'm looking at your peaches and cream

Trust me I'm yours for the taking

I've got the biggest head you've ever seen

Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water.

Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water.

Well have you heard? Would you believe it?

Do you realise how much I know?(FILL 3)

I could tell you the biggest story(FILL 4)

There's no limit to the seed that I sow

Yeah the suit has a hand so I shake it

My greed is beginning to show

Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water

Don't you know I'd do anything... to keep my head above water

I'd climb the highest mountain; I'd swim the deepest ocean

I'd girdle the globe just to find the magic potion

That could change everything that could set me on fire

Bring me down easy on wings of desire

Oh to be alive, I'd suck to survive

I'd do anything; to keep my head above water

Head above water

Head above water
