Love Over Glory

He said I can take good care of you
You've got what the people want
Just let me do the hard work
You just sing your little songs

I'll give you everything you've wanted
But baby nothing comes for free
We can speak about that later
Why don't you have a drink with me?

Boy that's a lotta loud talk!
You want a girl not a woman
Whatever makes you feel important
You say you really wanna help me out
But you just take the credit

Oh you're such a good guy
Coming in like my saving grace
Why would I need to be saved to be great?
Did you forget that
I write the story
And it's love over glory

For so long I didn't question it
You assured me it's the right way
How dare you take something so beautiful
And try and bend it into shape

You turn a profit on emotion
You convinced me it's a safe space
Then you said could we clear the green room
And zina could you stay?

Boy that's a lotta loud talk!
You want a girl not a woman
Whatever makes you feel important
You say you really wanna help me out
But you just take the credit

Oh you're such a good guy
Coming in like my saving grace
Why would I need to be saved to be great?
Did you forget that
I write the story
And it's love over glory

Now you lust for
The power you held over my trust
Wanna tap into something that's untouched and turn it
Into a lover
But you just blew your cover

All that loud talk
You want a girl
I'm a woman
Not here to make you feel important
You say you really wanna
Help me out but you just
Take the credit

Oh you're such a good guy
Coming in like my saving grace
Why do I need to be saved to be great?
Don't you forget that
This is my story
And it's love over glory
