God Won’t Get YouDolly Parton

[Verse 1]
Sometimes in my sleep I hold you close against my skin
Waking up I wish that I could sleep and dream again
Cause only in my dreams can I know how it might have been
But cheaters never win, their heartaches never end

[Verse 2]
But sometimes I get crazy as lovers often do
Trying to please him and wondering if she's pleasing you
Though they have every right to any part of us they choose
I still live just for you and our secret rendezvous

[Chorus]
Torn between two lovers on the jukebox
I'm thinking how I could have wrote that song
Wondering if God loves us when we're cheating
Oh, but why he lets us feel things if it's wrong
And I guess I should be signing "Rock of Ages"
"Amazing Grace" and some of those good songs
But my cheating heart will tell on me tomorrow
If you think that God won't get you, well you're wrong

[Verse 3]
Thou shalt not commit it, it's written in the "Ten"
The spirit's always willing, but the flesh is weak again
And you're as close to heaven as I might ever fly
An angel in disguise
A wrong that feels so right

[Chorus]
Torn between two lovers just keeps playing
I don't want to be right if loving you is wrong
I'm wondering if God loves us when we're cheating
Oh, but why we have to feel things if it's so wrong?
And I guess I should be singing "Rock of Ages"
"Amazing Grace" and some of those good songs
But my cheating heart will tell on me tomorrow
If you think that God won't get you, well you're wrong

[Outro]
My cheating heart will tell on me tomorrow
If you think that God won't get you, well you're wrong

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
