Coverdale And Page Over Now Lyrics

Over Now Lyrics

You said you'd give me love, instead you caused me pain

You made me curse an' slam the door, an' hang my head in shame



But it's over now, it's over now



You talked to me of virtue, an' sang a song so sweet

But all I know is I could smell the perfume of deceit



An' it's over now, it's over now



You told me of your innocence, an' I believed it all

But your best friend is your vanity, an' the mirror on the wall



It's over now



I turned away from what I heard, an' everything I saw

But now I see the light of day, I release the dog of war



So whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call

How you gonna feel, when you finally lose it all

How you gonna look, standing up against the wall

Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, when you feel the hammer fall

I'm gonna see you crawl



You took your pills an' washed them down, an' then you talked for hours

I tried to build a garden, but you trampled all the flowers



An' it's over now



Wanting this, needing that, always after more

Now that it's all over, I release the dog of war, I release the dog of war



So whatcha gonna do when the truth pays you a call

How you gonna look, standing up against the wall

Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, when you feel the hammer fall



Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, standing up against the wall

So whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna say, when you feel the hammer fall

So whatcha gonna do
