Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid
With a nice paper round
[Verse 2]
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
With God's help, I know
I'll always be near to you
[Verse 3]
But Jesus hurt me
When He deserted me, but
I have forgiven Jesus
For all the desire
He placed in me
When there's nothing I can do with this desire
[Verse 4]
I was a good kid
Through hail and snow
I'd go just to moon You
I carried my heart in my hand
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
[Verse 5]
But Jesus hurt me
When He deserted me, but
I have forgiven Jesus
For all of the love
He placed in me
When there's no one I can turn to with this love
[Verse 6]
Monday, humiliation
Tuesday, suffocation
Wednesday, condescension
Thursday is pathetic
By Friday, life has killed me
By Friday, life has killed me
[Verse 7]
Oh, pretty one
Oh, pretty one
[Verse 8]
Why did You give me so much desire
When there is no where I can go to offload this desire?
And why did You give me so much love in a loveless world
When there is no one I can turn to
To unlock all this love?
And why did You stick me in self deprecating bones and skin?
Jesus, do You hate me?
Why did You stick me in self deprecating bones and skin?
Do You hate me?
Do You hate me?
Do You hate me?
Do You hate me?
Do You hate me?
