Oh Lord, gimme strength 
Sweet Lord, gimme love 
Oh Lord, gimme strength 
Sweet Lord, gimme love 

I'm not your lover, I wanna be your friend 
But I need something, do you comprehend? 
It took a long time for this heart to mend 
There's something wrong with the love you send 

Oh give me strength, oh Lord above 
I need some of that sweet toxic love 
Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins 
To lift me up to make me insane 

I'm not your punch bag I'm not your floor 
You can't walk on me until you get bored 
Before you break it, you must be sure 
That you can't use this love no more 

I need some of that sweet toxic love 
Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins 
To lift me up, to make me insane 

God would have loved you but he never had the chance 
Love it means nothing till it's slipping through your 
hands 
And all the people with their problems and their plans 
Though it's nothing new for me and you, I still know 
who I am 

Oh give me strength, oh Lord above 
I need some of that sweet toxic love 
Sweet toxic love pouring through my veins 
To lift me up, to make me insane 

Oh Lord, gimme stregth 
Sweet Lord, gimme love 
Oh Lord, gimme strength 
Sweet Lord, gimme love
