VERSE 1

Oh babe thought you’re there to meet my needs
'cause you’re everything to me
but I just couldn’t see, you couldn’t give salvation to me

CHORUS

I need salvation, not a reputation
got to be an explanation, why I can’t get salvation (repeat)

CHORUS

I need salvation, not a reputation
got to be an explanation, why I can’t get salvation (repeat)

VERSE 3

Oh babe now I know we’re not to be
no person ever holds the key
no one can ever make me see, got to find salvation in me

VERSE 2

Oh babe when I feel your warm embrace
and I look into your face
it’s a mistake to think it grace, or that I’m in salvation’s place

END CHORUS

I need salvation, not a reputation
got to be an explanation, why I can’t get salvation (repeat)
