Lyrics

The Agony & The Ecstasy

I thought I knew what I wanted

Till the day I met you

You gave me something I never knew I needed

I owe my thanks to you

Now I'm here to preach your gospel

So simple it's insane

And yet you told me that real pleasure

Don't mean nothing without pain

I thought I knew what I wanted

Till the day I met you

You gave me something I never knew I needed

I owe my thanks to you

Now I'm here to preach your gospel

So simple it's insane

And yet you told me that real pleasure

Don't mean nothing without pain

You gave me something that I never had been
