Why Do I Still Want You Lyrics - Single White Female - Chely Wright

There's an old tear stained, worn King James 

Bible on my lap 

I can hear mama now say it won't let you down 

And it never has 

So I turn to the Psalms straight to the one 

That I can quote by heart 

But the words that used to comfort me are tearing me apart 

[Chorus] 

He leaded me through death's dark valley 

And by still waters too 

Surely goodness and his mercy 

Are gonna pull me through 

But tonight I've wrestled wit the devil 

Wrestled with the truth 

If the lord is my shepherd 

And I shall not want 

Why do I still want you 

All my friends say this will end 

You're not the one for me 

Cause I'm the kind that loves for life 

And your the kind that leaves 

So I've been praying and I've been waiting 

For some kind of peace 

But you haven't phoned and I'm leaning on Old Psalms twenty-three 

[Chorus]
