Lyle Lovett - God Will Lyrics






Who keeps on trusting you
When you've been cheating
And spending your nights on the town
And who keeps on saying that he still wants you
When you're through running around
And who keeps on loving you
When you've been lying
Saying things ain't what they seem
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

So who says he'll forgive you
And says that he'll miss you
And dream of your sweet memory
God does
But I don't
God will
But I won't
And that's the difference
Between God and me

Lyle Lovett God Will Comments
  1. M.... ....

    Patty Loveless' version is the best version of this song.

  2. B.... ....

    You just have to appreciate Lyle Lovett's talent and truth.

  3. p.... m....

    Lyle is an amazing writer and singer

  4. r.... ....

    This whole album is a solid gold classic, regardless of genre. I'd never even heard of Lyle Lovett until a girlfriend played it for me, the guy was criminally under-marketed outside the USA.

  5. j.... d....

    I remember my first wife stopped by after cheating on me, i remember turning this song way up untill she left.

  6. g.... M....

    tough love.

  7. �.... �....

    a book brought me here

    �.... �....

    A Mitch Albom book perhaps?

  8. M.... ....

    And 30 years (!) later- its still one of the best songs I've every heard. I first got this debut album on cassette years ago & Mr. Lovett has proven himself to a most unique performer( that third or fourth album with his big band showed he would not allow his music to be placed in one box) and one of the greatest songwriters of the last 30 + years. The humor in some of his lyrics always made me smile. Two of my favorite songs of his were done by the late great vocalist supreme Mr. Lou Rawls on his 1989 lp "At Last"- LV's " She's No Lady" & "Good Intentions".

  9. F.... B....

    Nearly did a spit-take first time I listened to this song. "Well God does, but I don't" took me completely by surprise, "that's the difference between God and me" just made me laugh. Brilliant.

  10. e.... ....

    Talk about 3 chords and the truth.....

  11. i.... ....

    Won't work on an Atheist.

    i.... ....

    No, they wont. Just enjoy the song.

    i.... ....

    they don't like great music?

    i.... ....

    Yes, we do.

    i.... ....

    Yes it will, if they're logicians. If God doesn't exist then any statement about God is vacuously true :P.

    i.... ....

    Not sure what it’s supposed to do, but if making me happy is the goal then this Pastafarian/Satanist/Atheist hybrid is plenty affected. I am totally learning this song for voice and bass guitar.

  12. A.... R....

    Just started to listen to Lyle again. Forgot how good he is.

  13. C.... R....

    Amen to that

  14. J.... M....

  15. D.... O....

    whenever anyone talksabout forgiveness I tell them this

  16. D.... W....

    Lyle hit #18 in Billboard, 5-2-87. Thanx, friend, for postin' it.

  17. D.... O....

    i'msurprised this great song hasn't been covered more

    D.... O....

    awesome song for survivors of narcissistic personality disorder relationship abuse.

    D.... O....

    I heard Patty Loveless do a cover but that’s about it.

    D.... O....

    @Kelton King This song thanks God for Patty Loveless.

  18. K.... W....

    Good song..
