I see the look, the look on your face,
I never should've come,
never should've, ever should've,
raised down, here to help you,
I took your hand, They only say,
'cause I see love, in your eyes,
never should've run, never should've
let you lie down, on my shoulder, babe
But ohhhhhhhhhhhowwww
And ohhhhhhhoooooooww
I ain't got no need for territory with you
I ain't got no need for territory with you
I ain't got no need for territory with you
I ain't got no need for territoryooooooo
I'll take you down, down to the sea,
can't you see honey, you're lookin at me,
I've got god, some answers, some disease,
but I'm just heavy on your knees
and I see love in your eyes never should've run,
never should've let you lie down on my
shoulder baby
But ohhhhhhhhhhhowwww
And ohhhhhhhoooooooww
I ain't got no need for territory with you
I ain't got no need for territory with you
I ain't got no need for territory with you
I ain't got no need for territoryooooooo
