Devotion

Tracy Chapman

Devotion

If I am right

If I can be

Constant and faithful

You'll find me

In my devotion

In my devotion

What if you find a fault

Between my purpose and my deeds

And deem me beyond salvation

Judge me to be unworthy

Of your devotion

Of your devotion

If this be obsession deliver me

A passing infatuation deliver me

A feeling lacking in purity deliver me

A test of fidelity deliver me

Deliver me

Deliver me

What if I should find

You're no good for me

What if I can't be strong enough

What if I can't break free

Of my devotion

Of my devotion
