I Don't Want to Talk About It Now

Emmylou Harris · Red Dirt Girl [Nonesuch] [2000]

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

I 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 alreday got my soul

There's nothin 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.



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.



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...
