  • 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
