[Verse 1]
The loaded guns and poisoned darts
He always aims for the heart
Knows how to hurt me, knows how to win
His love's a kick in the shins
I never thought we'd go together
But now I never say "never"
Cause when he falls, I see the boy-child
I can't help but sympathize
[Chorus]
So I will rescue him, I will rescue him
Each time he knocks I let him in
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin' (seventy times seven)
I will rescue him, I will rescue him
No matter what the cost is
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin' (seventy times seven)
[Post-Chorus]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I’m on your side
My patience won’t tire with you
5, 6, 7 baby up to eleven
I’ll never be tired of you
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I’m on your side
My patience won’t tire with you
5, 6, 7 baby up to eleven
I’ll never be tired of you
[Verse 2]
They see my silence, see my restraint
They think I'm crazy for waiting
For the sun to rise without an end
They only see his unfaithfulness
But I have golden eyes on my man
I see his soul without all the sin
They think I'm wasting my time
Making a home in his calamity
But I can't let go
[Chorus]
So I will rescue him, I will rescue him
Each time he knocks I let him in
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin' (seventy times seven)
I will rescue him, I will rescue him
No matter what the cost is
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin' (seventy times seven)
[Post-Chorus]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I’m on your side
My patience won’t tire with you
5, 6, 7 baby up to eleven
I’ll never be tired of you
[Bridge]
Make me long for the song you sing
And I don’t care if you're undeserving
Cause I know that your heart is hurting
But no one can ever help the way I feel
[Chorus]
So I will rescue him, I will rescue him
Each time he knocks I let him in
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin' (seventy times seven)
I will rescue him, I will rescue him
No matter what the cost is
When he wants it time and time again, time again
I'll give my forgivin' (Oh, I'll give my forgivin'!)
[Post-Chorus]
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 I’m on your side
My patience won’t tire with you
