He wants to have power, but he’s already got it
When he walks down the sidewalk without me
He wants to have freedom, but he’s already seen it
When he goes down this road unalarmed
He don’t know how the devil comes
Right out under the midday sun
How he hungers for a way to make control
How he’d throw my body down
How I’ll never make a sound
He’s waiting around the corner
And I’m waiting for a change, oh baby, yeah
I’m waiting for a change, oh baby it’s not fair
That I gotta fight this fear, always
Oh, my lover, how I have grown to trust him
He takes my hand and I stop defending
He holds my heaviness, but only when I let him
And he walks me down this road unharmed
He don’t know how the devil’s eyes
Sever and satisfy, how they’re waiting for a night
When he’s not there
How they’d throw my body down
How I’ll never make a sound, oh
He’s waiting around the corner
I’m waiting for a change, oh baby yeah
I’m praying for a change, oh baby
It’s not fair that I gotta fight this fear, always
