I'll Be Faithful

(album: Grapes Upon The Vine - 2023)

Don't move, your lover is calling
Or did they just let the sirens ring
As the bombs were falling?
And all of these boys would just do like you say so
And if you tried to leave the room
They would grab your ankles

But ooh (Ooh ooh ooh, ahh ahhh, oooh)
It doesn't matter what you do
I'll be faithful
I'll be faithful
I'll be faithful (I'll be, I'll be)
I'll be faithful

Was it love or art
Or was it drugs or something?
Don't tell me every hole you could notch in a belt
Added up to nothing
It was water or wine or whatever you paid for
And you could spit right in my drink and I'd be grateful

But ooh (Ooh ooh ooh, ahh ahhh, oooh)
It doesn't matter what you do
I'll be faithful
I'll be faithful (I'll be faithful, oh yeah)
I'll be faithful (I'll be, I'll be)
I'll be faithful (I'll be, I'll be faithful)

You thought that you were Axl or Iggy or Jimi or Janice or Johnny or Sidney
But really baby you weren't anything like that
Still you would smile like a little brat
As you donned your jacket and they would swoon
And you would laugh and they would watch themselves as they watched you looking back
Just skip the mass, you can keep the faith
You can sleep for days on a golden lawn
You can swear to God for just one second
How you could see heaven through this smog
And you would tell how you transcended in the backseat of a car
As you said a prayer for every derelict that got caught beneath these stars

But, hey (Ooh ooh ooh yeah)
If you say so
I'll be faithful (Oooh)
I'll be faithful (Faithful, yeah, yes I will)
I'll be faithful (I'll be faithful)
I'll be faithful (To you)
I'll be faithful (Yeah, I'll be)
I'll be faithful (I'll be)
I'll be faithful (Faithful, yeah)
I'll be faithful (Faithful, I'll be faithful)
