Heathen

I never bother to ask

I never bother with "Please"

I never bother with, "Excuse me, Miss, beg your pardon"

Darlin', that ain't for me

I like to do things my way

Or I don't do them at all

'Cause first they ask me to compromise and

In the next breath, demandin' you crawl

I guess that makes me a heathen, quiet caution at bay

Oh darlin', I am a heathen, I don't leave at lot in me

He says I'm covered in shine

Says I'm covered in sheen

But eatin' up my ways last night and he's sure

Ain't under my skin

But darlin', I never talk

You know I never tell

I'd be a darling carp, a star who shines

And cares about

Hey, I guess that makes me a heathen, something real we can dig

I hear them callin' me heathen, ooh, like they think it hurts

Jesus came to me one day and He washed my sins away

But then I caught sight of those city lights

I was led astray

'Cause darlin', I am heathen, oh yes, bitter to the bone

But if I am the heathen, then why won't you leave me alone?

Leave me alone

Go and leave me alone, yes baby

You better leave me alone, yeah baby

Go and leave me alone, yeah baby

You better leave me alone
