Sanctuary Lyrics

[Hook]
If I couldn't love you, baby
Maybe I can hold you down
If I couldn't turn you around
Maybe I can hold you back
If I couldn't love you, baby
Maybe I can hold you down...

If I couldn't love you, baby
Maybe I can hold you down
If I couldn't turn you around
Maybe I can hold you back
If I couldn't love you, baby
Maybe I can hold you down...

[Outro]
If I get to know you, baby
If I get to know you, baby
If I get to know you, baby
If I get to know you, baby
If I get to know you, baby
If I get to know you, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
