i Need To Repent

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Bryan Adams (Cuts Like a Knife)

Driving home one evening

I made a quick stop at the sto-ore

I found a place to park

With lots of room to open up my do-or

 

Well before I could get out

Some lady parked too close to me.  Yeah

I got a little mad

and scratched her fender with my key.  Oh yeah-a

 

I want to just forget it

But I know that it was wrong

That why I wrote this song


Now I need to repent

Cause it wasn't right

Oh I need to repent

And I think I might


I really hate confession 

And I wonder if I even should, ooh yeah

The lady learned a lesson

So what I did was really kinda good

 

Yeah maybe I'm mistaken

Maybe I should just chill out.

Cause rationalization

Is really what this verse is all about. 


I tell myself its nothin

But I know it isn't so

And I just can't let it go


Now I need to repent

Cause I'm so upset

Yeah, I need to repent

Oh, just not quite yet

 

The lady saw the scratch

She thought of me and came to call.  oh yeah

She didn't come alone

Her boyfriend must be over eight feet tall

 

I thought that I might die

I asked the guy to just relax

I had to tell a lie

Then several more to cover up my tracks

 

I wish I could forget it

It's a little thing you see

But it just keeps buggin me

 

Now I need to repent

But I'm in too deep

Yeah, I need to repent

cause I just can't sleep

Yeah!

 

Na na na, na na na na na, na na

Oh I need to repent

Na na na, na na na na na, na na

and I think I might

 

Na na na, na na na na na, na na

I need to repent

Na na na, na na na na na, na na

cause I know it's right baby
