Even Jesus, baby

[When you get down to it, 2008]

You drip like honey, drip like honey
you drip like honey in my soul
and taste as warm as sunshine
you burn me brightly
burn me bright
You burn me bright your eyes like coal
As warm and rich as red wine

And maybe I oughta let you go
and maybe I oughta let you know
maybe I would if I could

but even Jesus, baby
couldn’t be that good

You hum the bass note
hum the bass note
you hum the bass note through my bones
You hum the bass note
hum the bass note
you hum the bass note through my bones
a sigh, a gentle hallelujah
hallelujah

And maybe I oughta let you go
and maybe I oughta let you know
maybe I would if I could

but even Jesus, baby
couldn’t be that good

I’ve held the hand of the devil
held the hand of the devil
went down to the crossroads
I’d turn my back on him if I could
but when I get close to ya
I think of all the things I wanna do to ya
I know that I shouldn’t
but I’m convinced I should

even Jesus, baby
couldn’t be that good

And maybe baby it’s a bad bad thing
And maybe baby it’s a bad bad thing
But even Jesus, baby
couldn’t be that good
