[Verse 1] You may kneel I won’t stop you Such enthusiasm Who am I to block you? Bring your flowers Bring your praise I’ve been underserviced For a number of days Take your number Join the queue I appreciate devotion When it’s properly due No need trembling No grand vows I’m accepting admiration In excessive amounts [Pre-Chorus] Don’t make me holy Don’t make me yours A little adoration No contracts, no chores [Chorus] You can want me You can worship You can say my name like prayer You can lay your longing at my feet I might leave it there Come adore me Don’t confuse me With a thing that you can keep Darling, wanting isn’t owning You may kneel [Verse 2] Funny how the room shifts When I stop asking to be chosen Funny how desire blooms When a woman stays wide open Apparently there’s interest So I’ve heard Something in the atmosphere Has spread the word I don’t need rescuing I’m not asking to be chased I rather like attention When it comes with good taste And if I smile at you That’s not surrender, that’s consent A little flash of appetite A little innocent event [Pre-Chorus] Don’t call me goddess Don’t call me fate I’m not your salvation I’m just exceptionally worth the wait [Chorus] You can want me You can worship You can say my name like prayer You can lay your longing at my feet I might leave it there Come adore me Don’t confuse me With a thing that you can keep Darling, wanting isn’t owning You may kneel [Bridge] There’s a pilot light Still burning low Turns out all it needed Was a little room to glow No emergency No grand design Just the lovely shock of finding All this heat is still mine So be respectful Be sincere Bring your flowers if you like But darling, make it clear: [Break / Turn] You may touch my hand You may meet my eyes You may offer pleasure You may not decide [Final Chorus] You can want me You can worship You can say my name like prayer You can lay your longing at my feet I might leave it there Come adore me Don’t confuse me With a thing that you can keep Darling, wanting isn’t owning You may kneel [Outro] Such enthusiasm Who am I to block you? I’ve been underserviced Darling… what a thing to walk through ..... You may kneel
