Well, I was watching as he spoke to you last night.
And I could tell that he was making you feel good.
Cuz I could see that you were hanging on his every word

Did he say that you’d been suffering too long?
That he could show your how to slip between the raindrops?
And did he tell you he could offer you secret ways to make pain stop?

I don’t want to make a scene about it
I just want to make you think about it
I just want to make you open up your eyes
It’s 20 minutes to the perfect body
It’s only months until you make your money
It’s only those who know the secret prayer that gain His blessing
Don’t let the into your home

I’m only asking cuz I’ve heard these things before
I know you only think I’m jealous and you’re right
But let me promise you those promises he offers you are lies

I promised you that I would be a good lover
You promised me that you would wear my name
And now you’re living with that damned fool liar, baby, aren’t you ashamed?
I promised you that I would give you my loving
You promised me that you were never going to leave
But now you’re slipping out the back door on me

I don’t want to make a scene about it
I just want to make you think about it
I just want to make you open up your eyes
It’s only Jesus if it’s rock and roll now
It’s only church if it can feed your soul now
It’s so much easier to sell you what you want.
Don’t let the into you home
