Staring at the river
It's such a long time passing
Ooh baby, you give me the shivers
But it just makes me everlasting
Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there
I won't be there, I won't be there
Baby, I won't be there
I won't be there, I won't be there
It's the river of no return
So much water's passed under the bridge
There ain't no way to send it back
I can't help feeling the itch
But I don't know who to scratch
Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there
I won't, I won't be there, I won't be there
Baby, I won't be there
I won't be there, I won't be there
It's the river of no return
We all get punished for our sins
And everybody wants to do you in
Tide's rising, you gotta start swimming
But these waters hold dangerous women
Ooh baby, I won't be there
I won't, I won't be there, I won't be there
Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there
It's the river of no return
I'm sitting and I'm staring at the river
It's such a long time passing
Ooh baby, you give me the shivers
But it just makes me everlasting
Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there
I won't, I won't, I wont be there, I won't, I won't be there
Ooh hoo, you know I won't be there, I won't be there
