It's A Personal Thing

It's a personal thing and I find it odd

You would question my believing in a personal God

I'm devout, I'm sincere, ask my mother if you doubt it

I'm religious but I'd rather not get radical about it

The old-time believers had timidity and grace

But this new generation doesn't know its place

You're entitled to believe but the latest Gallup Poll

Says you mustn't interfere that's the government's role

'Cause when you throw your hat in the bullring

Before you know, know, know it's a personal thing

And when he comes to the day of reckoning

He's gonna tell 'em, "Uh, uh, uh, it's a personal thing"

It's a personal thing and I boldly state

That my views on morality will have to wait

'Til my personal life's out of the public eye

And the limitations statue can protect my alibi

I'm devout, I'm sincere and I'm proud to say

That it's had exactly no effect on who I am today

I believe for the benefit for all mankind

In the total separation of church and mind

'Cause when you throw your hat in the bullring

Before you know, know, know it's a personal thing

And when he comes to the day of reckoning

He's gonna tell 'em, "Uh, uh, uh, it's a personal thing"

It's a personal thing and I plainly speak

From the same code of ethics that I learnt last week

As I promised if elected this election day

With the help of God almighty, I'll do it my way

'Cause when you throw your hat in the bullring

Before you know, know, know it's a personal thing

And when he comes to the day of reckoning

He's gonna say, "Back off buddy, it's a personal thing"
