"I Have Forgiven Jesus" lyrics

"I Have Forgiven Jesus"

I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid
With a nice paper round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
With God's help I know
I'll always be near to you
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven you, Jesus
For all the desire
He placed in me when there's nothing I can do
With this desire

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?
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven you, Jesus
For all of the love
He placed in me
When there's no-one I can turn to with this love

Monday, humiliation
Tuesday, suffocation
Wednesday, condescension
Thursday is pathetic
By Friday, life has killed me
By Friday, life has killed me
Oh, pretty one
Oh, pretty one

Why did you give me
So much desire?
When there is nowhere I can go
To offload this desire
And why did you give me
So much love
In a loveless world
When there's 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?
