[Verse 1]
Everynight when I say my prayers
I feel like God is just saying "Who Cares?"
He's just like anybody else
Nobody will listen to me but myself

[Pre-Chorus]
So I pull my hands apart
Inviting God into my heart
But he doesnt want to stay
I think there might be another way

[Chorus 1]
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
I'm persuading god just to let me stay
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
Persuading god just to get my way
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
I'm persuading god just to let me stay
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
Persuading god just to get my way. (Persuading god just to get my way.)

[Verse 2]
Last night, when I was asleep
I saw God staring at me in my dreams
His facial expression was just a happy gleam
(It's Working!)

[Pre-Chorus]
So I pull my hands apart
Inviting God into my heart
But he doesnt want to stay
I think there might be another way

[Chorus 1]
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
I'm persuading god just to let me stay
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
Persuading god just to get my way
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
I'm persuading god just to let me stay
I'm persuading god to let me into heaven
Persuading god just to get my way. (Persuading god just to get my way.)

[Bridge]
And when I knock on heaven's door
A entry ticket is what i'll be asking for

[Chorus 2]
Because I persuaded god, i'm going into heaven
I persuaded god and now I get to stay
Persuaded god and now I got my way
Because I persuaded god, i'm going into heaven
I persuaded god and now I get to stay
Persuaded god and now I got my way
Because I persuaded god, i'm going into heaven
I persuaded god and now I get to stay
Persuaded god and now I got my way
Because I persuaded god, i'm going into heaven
I persuaded god and now I get to stay
Persuaded god and now I got my way
Because I persuaded god, i'm going into heaven
I persuaded god and now I get to stay
Persuaded god and now I got my way
