Please God, Don’t Tell Anyone Letra - Jack White

Please, God, don't tell anyone

What I do or what I have done

When my father gets to Heaven, please spare him the telling

Of the ways I've been sinning ever since the beginning

He won't understand and even if he did, I'm still his son

Please, God, don't tell anyone

Please, God, don't show anyone

All the idiot things that I've done

When my son gets to Heaven, will he be shown the yelling?

And the robbing and fighting? And the thunder and lightning?

He won't know that I did that just to feed my own daughter and son

Please, God, don't show anyone (Hey)

Oh, baby, what have I done?

Have I proven myself to no one?

Will the things I did well even save me from Hell?

I can't even recall all the sins I can't tell

Will a thousand good deeds be erased then by just one bad one?

Oh, baby, what have I done? (Hey)

Please, God, don't tell anyone

I was providing, not just having fun

Well, my boy started screaming, so I started stealing

My daughter was crying, so I started lying

My baby was sobbing, so I started robbing with a gun

Please, God, don't tell anyone

Please, God, don't tell anyone
