When you wake up every morning
Just to face one more deadline
Will you think back on me
And admit you were the same kind
When you stop all your denying
That somewhere inside you
There's someone who's like me too
Who does the things I do
When you finally make up your mind
To stay for more than just one night
Will we find out
What you're really like
Isn't that like me
To lie, thieve, cheat, and steal
For you isn't that like you
To come around and say
I owe you
Will you still love me
When I'm nearer my god to thee
Will you still love me
When I'm nearer my god to thee
When you've made
All your arrangements
To get out of your house
And how to smash your plates and china
To disavow your vows
Smash your sacred cow
Give me a nod of approval
Show me a little sign
That will make me stronger for you
Knowing you've made up your mind
Isn't that like me
To lie, thieve, cheat, and steal for you
Isn't that like you
To come around and say
I owe you
Will you still love me
When I'm nearer my god to thee
Will you still love me
When I'm nearer my god to thee
When you finally make up your mind
To stay for more than just one night
We're gonna find out
What we're really like
Will you still love me
When I'm nearer my god to thee
Will you still love me
When I'm nearer my god to thee
