Toxic
Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams
But words can burn a happy home
It's true, I've got words for you
The past is done it's gone forever
Don't tell me my pain is pleasure
You, you haven't got a clue
Aah, I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
All God's children fade and die
In the name of let's get high
Amen, you'd do it again
I pray the lord my soul to keep
But when you're coming down I'll be asleep
I can't pretend, It's killing me again
Aah, I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
Call me my Lord
I'm coming down
Call me my Lord
I'm coming down
Aah, I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
Aah, I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can burn a happy home
It's true, I've got words for you
