Dear John Letter To the Devil by Keith Green Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, I used to love you
But now that's hard to do
'Cause I got some information 'bout them evil things at night that you do
And the whole thing is true, we're through
Oh, you're such a devil
How'd you get me to believe you were true?
Oooh!
[Verse 2]
Oh, my momma warned me
And how my daddy cried
The day I left my home you said you'd always keep me satisfied
But oh, how you lied, you lied!
Well, I should have heard my momma's words
But then I guess I had too much pride
Original sin, whoa!
[Chorus 1]
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceiling, ohh
What a bad feeling I have
When I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
[Verse 3]
My so-called friends say I misjudged you
My anger's all in vain
But I'm afraid you got to them before I had a chance to explain
And it caused me such pain, ouch!
'Cause they were such good friends of mine
But now you've got them playing your game
You creep, whoa!
[Chorus 1]
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceiling
What a bad feeling I have
When I think of how you almost got me
In the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
Oh, in the ways of the world
In the ways of the world
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, I believe in Jesus
And what He said He's gonna do
He'll put an apple in your lying mouth and cook you in a sulfur stew
Wooo, one that'll never be through
Is it soup yet? No!
Oh, but if He hadn't rescued me
Then I'd be down there cooking, too
Oh, if Jesus hadn't rescued me
Then I'd be cooking right next to you, ooooh
[Chorus 2]
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceiling, haha
What a great feeling I have
When I think of how you're gonna get yours
At the end of the world
At the end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world
At the end of the world
Oh, at the end of the world
Oh, I used to love you
But now that's hard to do
'Cause I got some information 'bout them evil things at night that you do
And the whole thing is true, we're through
Oh, you're such a devil
How'd you get me to believe you were true?
Oooh!
