Please Lord, may I be wrong

'Cause when men are right, they are not young

Please Lord, may I be foolish

'Cause when men are wise, they're not satisfied

Please Lord, may I be lonely

'Cause when men are not, they're reckless, you know

Please Lord, may I be a liar

When men tell the truth, they're on their own

And I havеn't got a clue

And nor has anyone I know

Trying to forget

All thе things that haven't happened yet

Please Lord, may I be wrong

'Cause when men are right, they are not young

Please Lord, may I be foolish

'Cause when men are wise, they're not satisfied

Please Lord, may I be helpless

'Cause when men are strong, they're dangerous, you know

And please Lord, put a tiny little spring in my step

Well I got it right now this time I'm going down, going down slow

Well I got it right now this time I'm going down slow

(Please Lord, may I be wrong)

Well I got it right now this time I'm going down, going down slow

('Cause when men are right, they are not young)

Well I got it right now this time I'm going down slow

(Please Lord, may I be foolish)

Well I got it right now this time I'm going down, going down slow

('Cause when men are wise, they're not satisfied)

Going down slow

(Please Lord, may I be lonely)

('Cause when men are not, they're reckless, you know)

Going down slow

(Please Lord, may I be a liar)

Going down slow

(When men tell the truth, they're all alone)
