lyrics

[Speech]
Any big regrets sort of thing that I look back on
I don't back on anything now

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

He was lucid poised with envy
Sweet as rum and sugar cane
Empty bottles left him bitter
She seemed to hold too much power with her

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade

Muted mouths mean brutal lessons
Always stay beneath the soil
Her inner strength was her saviour
You're calling checkmate but the queen will conquer

Feel the water beneath me
Giving life to my wounds
Waves will align
All in due time

(x4)

[Speech]
Cuz then i had a job
The main thing is
Using your own money, handling your own money, buy what you want, pay your bills
Not waiting for your husband to give you

I wanna put my whole body in water
And let it wade x2

[Speech]
I haven't got much regrets really
Any big regrets sort of thing that I look back on
I don't back on anything now
I'm saying oh i should have done this, should have done that
Oh that went out of my head long time ago
I'm happy with my life as I am
I see you all
I have you all
I'm fine
