lyrics
I'm not a believer
And I'm not an angel
I guess I am a sinner
And you treat me like a stranger
Saying you can't know me without god in my heart
I thought god was about love and not tearing people apart
You may think I'm unholy
But I'm really pretty pure
I've always been the good girl but now I'm not so sure
Because you say you love me just not my pagan ways
Maybe I could keep you around if I'd just let myself be saved
Because you run from me
To protect what you believe
Your mother says it's the only way
Find a girl with whom you can pray
It doesn't matter what we feel
If we don't have the same ideals
Your god forbids you to stoop to my level
'Cause you're so blessed and I'm the devil
You pick and choose what you call sin
Your carnal knowledge of me was okay
When you thought that I'd let Jesus in
But isn't that what they call hypocrisy
When you can stand there looking chaste
After you've had your way with me
Because you run from me
To protect what you believe
Your mother says it's the only way
Find a girl with whom you can pray
It doesn't matter how we feel
If we don't have the same ideals
Your god forbids you to stoop to my level
'Cause you're so blessed and I'm the devil
But what if you die
And you were wrong
And god didn't care about the dogma
And all those praise and worship songs
Yeah what if you're wrong
And all he wanted was for you to be nice
Do you think he'd like the way you treated me
If he didn't give a damn for sacrifice
But go on run from me
Protect what you believe
Your mother says it's the only way
Find a girl with whom you can pray
It doesn't matter how we feel
We don't have the same ideals
Oh your god forbids you to stoop to my level
'Cause I'm the devil
I'm the devil
And I'm not an angel
I guess I am a sinner
And you treat me like a stranger
Saying you can't know me without god in my heart
I thought god was about love and not tearing people apart
You may think I'm unholy
But I'm really pretty pure
I've always been the good girl but now I'm not so sure
Because you say you love me just not my pagan ways
Maybe I could keep you around if I'd just let myself be saved
Because you run from me
To protect what you believe
Your mother says it's the only way
Find a girl with whom you can pray
It doesn't matter what we feel
If we don't have the same ideals
Your god forbids you to stoop to my level
'Cause you're so blessed and I'm the devil
You pick and choose what you call sin
Your carnal knowledge of me was okay
When you thought that I'd let Jesus in
But isn't that what they call hypocrisy
When you can stand there looking chaste
After you've had your way with me
Because you run from me
To protect what you believe
Your mother says it's the only way
Find a girl with whom you can pray
It doesn't matter how we feel
If we don't have the same ideals
Your god forbids you to stoop to my level
'Cause you're so blessed and I'm the devil
But what if you die
And you were wrong
And god didn't care about the dogma
And all those praise and worship songs
Yeah what if you're wrong
And all he wanted was for you to be nice
Do you think he'd like the way you treated me
If he didn't give a damn for sacrifice
But go on run from me
Protect what you believe
Your mother says it's the only way
Find a girl with whom you can pray
It doesn't matter how we feel
We don't have the same ideals
Oh your god forbids you to stoop to my level
'Cause I'm the devil
I'm the devil
