CHORUS:
I want to be good but I can't
I want to be good but I can't
I want to be good but I can't
Mercy is in God, work is in man
I want to be good but I can't
I want to be good but I can't
I want to be good but I can't
Mercy is in God, work is in man
VERSE I :
Early in the morning there was a lot of noise in the house
Mom was bullying me again
Blistered, my tuition was opened and I spent it
At the beer house, I spent it all
I rudely responded with a warning
The male reasoned,
I respected him
Shooted out of the house, ran away from the mess, saddened
But what I did made me hurt, sad
I'm too big to be pampered, jeproks
There's a dog with bad behavior
I've sinned above again
Should I ask for forgiveness, it's up to tomorrow
CHORUS:
I want to lose weight but I can't
I want to lose weight but I can't
I want to lose weight but I can't
Mercy is in God, in man the work
I want to do good but I can't do it
I want to do good but I can't do it
I want to do good but I can't do it
Mercy is in God, work is in man
VERSE II:
I want to calm down but I can't
So now my tears are falling
Repenting, silent, I feel guilty
In the eyes of the father, I'm a black sheep
The sin I've always avoided
But he didn't get rid of me, he didn't want to let me down
That's why I'm always nagging
Repeatedly, nagging, always -iinet
Oh temptation, stay away from me
When you are there, you make me mad
You taught me that everything that is forbidden is delicious
This is wrong, so now I am in trouble that's hard
CHORUS:
I want to lose weight but I can't
I want to lose weight but I can't
I want to lose weight but I can't
God has mercy, The work is in man
I want to be good but I can't do it
I want to be good but I can't do it
I want to be good but I can't do it
Mercy is in God, the work is in man
VERSE III:
I went to church a while ago, I promised to change
Every week I promise to be the same
I hope to be granted, I hope to be forgiven
Evil ones bad habit, don't do it again
I will ask for forgiveness, everything has been done
Tomorrow two days later, as if it didn't matter
Back to reality, the parents were cheated
He already cheated on the test, he even cut one hundred
I think I forgot what I promised
My promise is slowly getting nailed
Dada by dada, nobody is happy
I want to lose weight but I can't
VERSE IV:
Why is it like this, whenever we want something
Come to God when we ask for something
Hope to be forgiven through a prayer
Our promises always last
Hope for money, hope, hope, hope
Just a wish, hope, hope, hope
Will do something nice for something in return
Someone always wants to pretend to be kind
Going back to the church to pray again
We will kneel before God, why, why, why
We don't do it because of our wishes
Brothers, He is the one who gives
CHORUS:
I want to get better but I can't
I want to get better but I can't
I want to get better but I can't
Mercy is in God, work is in man
I want to get better but I can't
I want to lose weight but I can't
I want to lose weight but I can't
Mercy is in God, work is in man
I want to lose weight but I can't
I want to be good but I can't
I want to be good but I can't
Mercy is in God, work is in man
