about

The opening lyrics came to me while on a long bicycle ride.
I had been bicycling regularly to heal from acute anxiety. Before the initial lyric unfolded in my mind, I had been thinking about how the only way to truly heal oneself was through positive action and that no one on the "outside" could facilitate this process.

lyrics

Verse I:
The maid can make your bed
The cook can get you fed
The gardner can trim your grass
But no one can savior ass but…

Chorus I:
You-who ?
You-ooh-ooh
You-who ?
You-ooh-ooh

Verse II;
Your doctor can give you meds
Your girl can give you head
The waiter can fill your glass
but no one can savior ass…but

Chorus repeat

Your boys can take you out
For a night on the town
Surely this will never last
Only you can savior ass…only

Chorus repeat

Bridge:
The sun is shining
The clouds have parted
Then out of nowhere comes the darkness

What are you gonna do ?
What are you gonna do ?

Your cross is burnin'
You toss and turn and
You wonder if the pain is worth it

What are you gonna do ?
It’s all up to you who-ooh-ooh ?

Chorus repeat (fade out…
…fade in)
You got to Love
Love yourself
Love, Love, Love, Love yourself
