Melissa Etheridge
Bring Me Some Water (Live From Topeka Correctional Facility)
[Verse 1]
Tonight I feel so weak
But all in love is fair
I turn the other cheek
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
And I know you're only human
And I haven't got talking room
But tonight while I'm making excuses
Some other woman is making love to you

[Chorus]
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive?
Can't you see my baby's got another lover?
Don't know how I'm ever gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control? Yeah
Baby's got my heart, baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil
The sweet devil's got my soul

[Verse 2]
When will this aching pass?
When will this night be through?
I wanna hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of rеd hot truth
I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity, oh, that temporary kind
Tеll me how will I ever be the same
When I know that that woman is whispering your name?
[Chorus]
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive?
Can't you see my baby's got another lover?
And I don't know how I'm gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control? Yeah
Baby's got my heart, baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil
The sweet devil's got my soul

[Interlude]
Aw yeah
Get down, warden, get down

[Bridge]
Sweet devil's got my soul, oh
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh

[Chorus]
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive?
Can't you see my baby's got another lover?
And I don't know how I'm gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control?
Baby's got my heart, baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil
The sweet devil's got my soul
[Outro]
Baby's got my heart
And my baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil
The sweet devil's got my soul
