Over Now Lyrics - Singles - Coverdale/page

You said you'd give me love 

Instead you caused me pain 

You made me curse and slam the door 

And hang my head in shame 

But, it's over now, it's over now 

You talked to me of virtue 

And sang a song so sweet 

All I know is I could smell 

The perfume of deceit 

It's over now, it's over now 

You told me of your innocence 

And I believed it all 

But your best friend is your vanity 

And the mirror on the wall 

It's over now 

I turned away from what I heard 

And everything I saw 

Now I see the light of day 

I release the dog of war 

So whatcha gonna do 

When the truth pays you a call? 

How you gonna feel 

When you finally lose it all? 

How you gonna look 

Standing up against the wall 

Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna say 

When you feel the hammer fall? 

I'm gonna see you crawl 

You took your pills and washed them down 

And then you talked for hours 

I tried to build a garden 

But you trampled all the flowers 

And it's over now 

Wanting this, needing that 

Always after more, now that it's all over 

I release the dog of war 

I release the dog of war 

So whatcha gonna do 

When the truth pays you a call? 

How you gonna look 

Standing up against the wall? 

Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna say 

When you feel the hammer fall? 

Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna say 

Standing up against the wall? 

So whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna say 

Mamma, when you feel the hammer fall? 

So whatcha gonna do?
