river lyrics – eminem

hes coming home with his next grasp to catch flack
sweat jackets and dress less, mismatch
on his breast jackets is sex addict
and cheaters want to egg sack it for being checked, get back
its a chest match, shes on his back like a jetpack
shes kept track of all his internet chats
and guess who just so happens to be moving on to the next
actually, just shit on my last chick and she has what my ex lacks
cause she loves danger, psychopath
and you dont fuck with no mans girl, even i know that
but shes devised some plan to stab him in the back
knife in hand, says the relationships hanging by a strip
so shes been on the web lately
says maybe shell be my gwen stacy, in spiderman
and i know shes using me to try to play him, i dont care
hi suzanne, but i shoulda said “bye suzanne” after the first night, but tonight i am

ive been a liar, been a thief
been a lover, been a cheat
all my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
a little one, i dont want to admit to something if all its gonna cause is pain
truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
so let the river run

one night stand turned into night stayin
it was cold, some lights gram
yall be hung tight and
he found out, now she feels deserted and used
cause he left, so what? he did inverse to her too
now how am i supposed to tell this girl that were through?
its hard to find the words, im aloof, nervous and suited
when its too hurt but what you deserve is the truth
dont take it personal, i just cant say this in cursin to you
so i revert to the studio like hole in the wall diners
dont have to be reserved in a booth
i just still like the person who im turnin into
irreversible, i pray for you like a church at the pew
and now that i got you i dont want you
took advantage of my thirst to pursue
why do i do this to her that i do?
get off my soul box and breach, mass earnin in speech
detergent and bleach is burned in the womb
cause now with her in the womb
we cant bring her in this bullshit in new
to use protection fore i pity to your forbidden crew
fuck!

ive been a liar, been a thief
been a lover, been a cheat
all my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
a little one, i dont want to admit to something if all its gonna cause is pain
truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
so let the river run

my names ooh
my names ooh
denver, never run
call me ooh
call me ooh
river ooh
well let the river run

always the brides maid, never “the bride, hey!”
what can i say? if life was a highway
the sequels are non-clay
but be swerving in side lanes
speeds that are high, rave like im sliding on ice maybe
thats why im made, that came at you sideways
i cant keep my life straight, what i made
you terminate my baby
this love drought angle
left us in a rectangled
what else can i say? it was fun for a while
that i really woulda loved your smile
then you really wanna abort
but fuck it, whats one more lie to tell an unborn child?

ive been a liar, been a thief
been a lover, been a cheat
all my sins need holy water, feel it washing over me
a little one, i dont want to admit to something im sorry,
i fucked up if all its gonna cause is pain
the truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
so let the river run…
