More Than It Hurts You

Your grandpa was a saint
A perfect gentleman
His daddy was a bitter cuss
Beat him till he couldn't stand
Your grandpa made a vow
To never lay a hand
On any of his children
I always did admire that
But I'm sure that he'd forgive me
For what I'm about to do
And I know this might sound crazy but
This hurts me more than it hurts you

"Spare the rod, spoil the child"
Is what the bible says
Lately i've been reading
Highlighting favorite passages
For god so loved the world
He sent his only son
To bleed and die crucified
Pay the price for everyone
And I'm sure when Christ was dying
His body torn and bruised
That's when god the father said
This hurts me more than it hurts you

Someone's got to save your soul from burning up in hell
Don't you ever doubt it boy you brought this on yourself

Come here and take your licks
Get up off the floor
Be a man move your hands
Or I'll give you twenty more
Well you'll never get to heaven
With that kind of attitude
You better stop your crying
Or I'll break you right in two
And I know this might sound crazy but
This hurts me more than it hurts you
And I know this might sound crazy but
This hurts me more than it hurts you
