God, Sex, & Shame
Why's it feel like Heaven's gonna fall for doing something natural? Uh
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Why's it feel like the world's gonna end for loving a good man? Uh
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Post-sex tears at 23
It's got me running to the shower
Hoping that he don't see
Running hot water, hoping it turns holy, holy, I-I-I
Purity ring 'til 17
Tried to be the perfect flower, let somebody pluck me
Really shouldn't matter, doesn't God love me, love me? I-I-I
Why's it feel like Heaven's gonna fall for doing something natural? Uh
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Why's it feel like the world's gonna end for loving a good man? Uh
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Boys will be boys but girls should be virgins
Boys will be boys but girls should be virgins
I was a little girl in a Baptist church
"Save yourself" was all I heard from men in suits on stages
Cheating on their wives, acting all holy, holy, yea-yeah
There's all these fuckin' rules about Heaven, uh
I don't even know what I believe in
But I'm tired of hearing how I won't get in
If I ain't no, 'cause I ain't a virgin
Why's it feel like Heaven's gonna fall for doing something natural? Uh
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Why's it feel like the world's gonna end for loving a good man? Uh
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Boys will be boys but girls should be virgins
Boys will be boys but girls should be virgins
I know you love me, I really do and
I wanna have a relationship with you
I'm just so confused
This is all so scary for me to say
'Cause I've never outwardly questioned my faith, ever
They tell me something's been taken from me
Have taken my body and my purity
And they swear it, in your name
That sex before marriage ruins everything
But did I ruin everything?
I wish I could just call you so we could talk about these things
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Why's it feel like the world's gonna end for loving a good man? Uh
I'm still stuck between God, sex, and shame, oh
Post-sex tears at 23
It's got me running to the shower
Hoping that he don't see
Running hot water, hoping it turns holy, holy, I-I-I
