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?
