I'm a priest [Être prêtre et aimer une femme] lyrics

Frollo:

I was a happy man until I saw your face

I hid my need away in some dark secret place

All that power of sex I kept down and I never let go

I had only one design: the truth of God and man to know

Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl

I love with a love that destroys my world

Against the wind and the tide I could stand any shock

Straight and proud like Notre Dame upon her rock

Then you stole in my heart and awakened desire

I dream I'm inside you and I wake up on fire

Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl

I love with a love that destroys my world

I let no woman near, I suffered for God's care

In the heart of the night I saw the lightning flare

I looked out from my room, distracted from my prayer

The day had just begun and you were standing there

Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl

I love, yes, I love with a love that destroys my world

Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl

Heal me with your touch or hurt me once again

Make me suffer for my sin

Just lead me on to Hell and I'll deny my Christ

For Hell with you is Paradise

Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl

I love, yes, I love with a love that destroys my world

Oh, I'm a priest and I love this girl

This girl
