On Your Knees

W.A.S.P. · Best Of The Best [2000]

Dancing with danger right until dawn

The sin that you buy and you sell

Mom and daddy said "the life that you've led,

You'll party you're way straight to hell"



On Your knees,

You shall be on your knees

Cause I want you on your knees

You shall be on your knees

And I need you on your knees

You shall be on your knees

Cause I want you on your knees

You shall be on your knees



Playing with fire, lust in you burns

Reflecting the flames in your eyes

Sex and pain insane, they're really the same

Misused and confused, bound and tied



On Your knees

You shall be on your knees

Cause I want you on your knees

You shall be on your knees

And I need you on your knees

You shall be on your knees

Cause I want you on your knees

You shall be on your knees



On your knees that's where you all shall be

Well I bid you come taste your first deadly sin

Riding the wild wind and the door to submission

Will open and you shall fall in



On Your knees,

You shall be on your knees

Cause I want you on your knees

You shall be on your knees

And I need you on your knees

You shall be on your knees

Cause I want you on your knees

You shall be on your knees



On your knees

On your knees

On your knees

On your knees
