Mm, God forgave me, why can't you?
Why do you punish me now for the things that I used to do?
I'm not the same as I used to be
And if you don't believe it, then set me free
God forgave me, why can't you?
God really loves me, now why don't you?
Just when everything looks rosy you always take the other view
When I was fallin' all to pieces
And the pieces sort of fell on you
God forgave me, why can't you?
I can't tie you down, tell you what to do
No, and I don't have the right to say what not to do
And you can shine your friends on, they think you hung the moon
And your words so sound so sincere
But to me it's the same old tune, yeah
Yeah, God forgave me, so how 'bout you?
Am I condemned without trial for the things that you think I do?
Unless you've never been wrong before
Why don't you sweep around your own back door?
God forgave me, and oh why can't you?
God forgave me, why can't you?
Mm-hmm, God forgave me, why don't you?
