Give me water, give me bread, forgive me for my trespasses,
Give me flesh and give me wine, these guilty pleasures are old friends of mine
I could go down on my knees, but I won't make excuses,
Good or evil, it's all me, the things I say and do and
I'm not a saint, it's plain to see I've got a host of issues
But the truth is, oh the truth is
I do it cuz I wanna …. Cuz I wanna …
Cuz I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, Cuz I wanna.
Try to get it right, try to do what's best,
put up a fight, I try to hide it that I'm such a mess
Try to deny it, justify it but I must confess,
I do what I like because I like it and the truth is that
I do it cuz I wanna …. Cuz I wanna …
Cuz I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, Cuz I wanna.
I could go down on my knees if that's something you're into
But I'm not going to beg and plead for absolution from you
Good or evil, it's all me and I can't fool myself
When the truth is, oh the truth is
I do it cuz I wanna, oh, because I wanna
I do it cuz I wanna, oh, because I wanna, wanna, wanna
I do it cuz I wanna, oh, because I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna
Cuz I wanna, oh, because I wanna
Give me water, give me bread, forgive me for my trespasses,
Give me flesh and give me wine, these guilty pleasures are old friends of mine
Give me water, give me bread, forgive me for the things I said,
If I give you my pound of flesh, will you forgive my trespasses
Give me water, give me wine, give me strength and peace of mind
Give me sex and rock and roll, I don't want much … I just want it all
Because I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, cuz I wanna
Try to get it right, try to do what's best,
put up a fight, I try to hide it that I'm such a mess
Try to deny it, justify it but I must confess,
I do what I like because I like it and the truth is that I do it cuz I wanna!
