[Verse 1]
It's so predictable
To farm the parable
From every tête-à-tête
But when you see the end
In every beginning
Lessons are all you get

[Chorus]
Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me

[Verse 2]
Met you in the wrestling pit
You came when I needed it
Ah, a body on top of me
To teach me
Stayed up past the witching hour
You showed me your secret powers
I wish that mine
Could freeze time

[Chorus]
Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me
Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me
[Verse 3]
Cupid has it out for me
Gave me crooked alchemy
Eros, oh god of flings
Sees the beauty in all things
As stupid's as stupid does
I grasp your cloak because
Maybe you'll grant me wings
If I cling

[Chorus]
Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me
Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me

[Verse 4]
You must be an angel
Your conscience is clean
Why would you soil yourself
With a monster like me?
If the good lord sent ya
The good lord can take ya back
I hope when he comes for you
You illuminate the path
[Bridge]
(Bless me before you go)
(Bless me before you go)
Oh, ooh, ooh
You're goin' nowhere with me, me
You're goin' nowhere with me, me
You're goin' nowhere with me
You're goin' nowhere with me

[Chorus]
Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me

[Outro]
Bless me
Before you go
