Here Are the Lyrics to Carly Pearce’s “Church Girl”:
Verse
Hey, church girl doin’ everything wrong / Walking on eggshells with your high heels on / Hey, church girl with the Jezebel dress / Better take it off, you’re making all the boys think sex / You got your questions but you’re too scared to ask / I’m just a sinner who’s been where you’re at
Chorus
So, you like to get high / When you talk to Jesus / So, you love who you love / And you go out on the weekends / So, you drink, and you think for yourself / That don’t mean you’ll go to hell / When you leave this world / Just ‘cause you heard it in church, girl
Verse
Hey, church girl wearing all that guilt / Just ‘cause you didn’t wait don’t mean it wasn’t real / You turn up a song that isn’t Amazing Grace / They say that you’re hopeless / But that just ain’t the case
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
And I’ve heard what you’ve heard, girl / Read every bible verse, girl / If God is who he says he is / Then I don’t think you’re cursed, girl
Repeat Chorus
