lyrics

Im not a woman
Im not a man
I am something that you'll never understand

Ill never beat u
Ill never lie
And if you're evil I'll forgive u by and by

U - I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

Im not your lover
Im not your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend

No need 2 worry
No need 2 cry
Im your messiah and you're the reason why

Cuz u - I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

Youre just a sinner I am told
Be your fire when you're cold
Make u happy when you're sad
Make u good when u are bad

Im not a human
I am a dove
Im your conscious
I am love
All I really need is 2 know that
U believe

Yeah, I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

Yeah, say one more time

U - I would die 4 u
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u
2 3 4 u

I would die 4 u
I would die 4 u
U - I would die 4 u
U - I would die 4 u
