i Need To Repent
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Bryan Adams (Cuts Like a Knife)
Driving home one evening
Driving home one evening
I made a quick stop at the sto-ore
I made a quick stop at the sto-ore
I found a place to park
I found a place to park
With lots of room to open up my do-or
With lots of room to open up my do-or
Well before I could get out
Well before I could get out
Some lady parked too close to me. Yeah
Some lady parked too close to me. Yeah
I got a little mad
I got a little mad
and scratched her fender with my key. Oh yeah-a
and scratched her fender with my key. Oh yeah-a
I want to just forget it
I want to just forget it
But I know that it was wrong
But I know that it was wrong
That why I wrote this song
That why I wrote this song
Now I need to repent
Now I need to repent
Cause it wasn't right
Cause it wasn't right
Oh I need to repent
Oh I need to repent
And I think I might
And I think I might
I really hate confession
I really hate confession
And I wonder if I even should, ooh yeah
And I wonder if I even should, ooh yeah
The lady learned a lesson
The lady learned a lesson
So what I did was really kinda good
So what I did was really kinda good
Yeah maybe I'm mistaken
Yeah maybe I'm mistaken
Maybe I should just chill out.
Maybe I should just chill out.
Cause rationalization

Is really what this verse is all about.
Is really what this verse is all about.
I tell myself its nothin

But I know it isn't so
But I know it isn't so
And I just can't let it go
And I just can't let it go
Now I need to repent
Now I need to repent
Cause I'm so upset
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 thought of me and came to call. oh yeah
She didn't come alone

Her boyfriend must be over eight feet tall
Her boyfriend must be over eight feet tall
I thought that I might die
I thought that I might die
I asked the guy to just relax
I asked the guy to just relax
I had to tell a lie

Then several more to cover up my tracks
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
