Adia Victoria - Heathen lyrics
Artist: Adia Victoria
album: Silences
I never bother to ask
I never bother with "please"
I never bother with
"'Scuse me miss, beggin' pardon", darlin'
That ain't for me
I like to do things my way
Or I don't do them at all
'Cause first they ask you to compromise
And then the next breath demandin' you crawl
I guess that makes me a heathen
Quite possibly
Oh, darling, I am a heathen
Oh, evil-hearted me
He says I'm covered in shame
Says I'm covered in sin
But he didn't mind my ways last night
And he sure ain't mind my skin
But darlin' I never talk
You know that I never tell
I'll be your tight-lipped confidante
Your silent jezebel
Hell, I guess that makes me a heathen
Something rarer than dirt
I hear 'em callin' me heathen
Ooh, like they think it hurts
Jesus came to me one day, and he washed my sins away
But then I caught sight of those city lights
I was led astray
'Cause darlin', I am a heathen, oh yes
Bitter to the bone
But if I am the heathen
Then why won't you leave me alone?
Leave me alone
Go and leave me alone, yes baby
You better leave me alone, yeah baby
Go and leave alone, yeah baby
You better leave me alone
Ba da-da da
Ba da-da da, di-da, di-da
Da da-da da da
Ba da da da
Ba la-la la, li-la, li-la
Ba la-la la-la la (la-la-la)
La la la-la la
La-la, la la-la la-la la
La-la-la la
I never bother with "please"
I never bother with
"'Scuse me miss, beggin' pardon", darlin'
That ain't for me
I like to do things my way
Or I don't do them at all
'Cause first they ask you to compromise
And then the next breath demandin' you crawl
I guess that makes me a heathen
Quite possibly
Oh, darling, I am a heathen
Oh, evil-hearted me
He says I'm covered in shame
Says I'm covered in sin
But he didn't mind my ways last night
And he sure ain't mind my skin
But darlin' I never talk
You know that I never tell
I'll be your tight-lipped confidante
Your silent jezebel
Hell, I guess that makes me a heathen
Something rarer than dirt
I hear 'em callin' me heathen
Ooh, like they think it hurts
Jesus came to me one day, and he washed my sins away
But then I caught sight of those city lights

'Cause darlin', I am a heathen, oh yes

Leave me alone

You better leave me alone, yeah baby
Go and leave alone, yeah baby
You better leave me alone

La-la, la la-la la-la la
La-la-la la
