Jack White – Please God, Don’t Tell Anyone Lyrics

 

Please God, Don’t Tell Anyone Lyrics by Jack White

 

Please god, don’t tell anyone
What I do
Or what I have done
When my father gets to heaven
Please spare him the telling
All the ways I’ve been sinning
Ever since the beginning
He won’t understand
And even if he did
I’m still his son

Please god, don’t tell anyone
Please god, don’t show anyone
All the idiot things that I’ve done
When my son gets to heaven will he be shown the yelling
And the robbing and fighting
And the thunder and lighting
He won’t know that I did that just to feed my own daughter and son
Please god, don’t show anyone
Oh baby
What have I done
Have I proven myself to no one
Will the things I did well
Even save me from hell
I can’t even recall all the sins I can’t tell
Will a thousand good deeds be erased and by just one bad one
Oh baby what have I done
Please god, don’t tell anyone
I was providing not just having fun
Well my boss started screaming so I started stealing
My daughter was crying so I started lying
My baby was sobbing so I started robbing with a gun
Please god don’t tell anyone
Please god don’t tell anyone
