Cuss A Little
Kylie Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swear I'll say it to your face when I'm talking behind your back
My thoughts are kind of dirty but my clothes are clean
What you see is what you get, but what you get ain't what it seems
I'm just human buried in denial
I judge people and I read the Bible
I drink too much but my body is a temple
I love Jesus but I cuss, just a little
I don't care what people think 'cause that makes people think I'm cool
And I won't ever tell a lie, other than the one I just told
My music's kind of dirty but my record's clеan
So what you see is what you get, but what you get ain't what it seems
I'm just human buried in dеnial
I judge people and I read the Bible
I drink too much but my body is a temple
I love Jesus but I cuss, just a little
Just a little
My heart is kind of dirty but his blood is clean
So what you see is what you get, but what you get ain't what it seems
I'm just human buried in denial
I judge people and i read the Bible
I've got tattoos but my body is a temple
I love Jesus but I cuss
Hell we all cuss just a little
Just a little
I cuss just a little
Just a little
Kylie Morgan's song "Cuss A Little" is a fun and lighthearted take on the contradictions that exist within all of us. The lyrics talk about how she doesn't hang with hypocrites, but she's quick to call out someone for their own hypocrisy. She's not afraid to be honest, whether it's to someone's face or behind their back, but at the same time, she's not above telling a little white lie now and again. She's a human being, full of contradictions and flaws, buried in denial but trying to do better.
The line "I judge people and I read the Bible" shows how we all have our own moral codes that we try to live by, even if we don't always succeed. Kylie recognizes that her thoughts are sometimes "kind of dirty," but she also values cleanliness and takes care of her body like it's a temple. Similarly, she loves Jesus but also admits to cussing "just a little." She is honest about her own imperfections and makes light of them in the song, perfectly embodying the saying "nobody's perfect."
Overall, "Cuss A Little" is a reminder that it's okay to be imperfect and to embrace the contradictions within ourselves. We all have our own struggles and flaws, but we can still be good people and find humor in our imperfections. It's a catchy and relatable tune that encourages listeners to not take life too seriously and to just be themselves.

I’m an imperfect Christian. However, scripture says let no vile talk come from your mouth. We mess up…but if it’s a habit, that’s not acceptable to Christ. Scripture says There’s no more grace for willful sinning. It’s doable! I don’t cuss. I can remember 3 times in my almost 47 years that I did. I felt horrible and asked God for forgiveness. I’m not “holier than thou”.
No one is perfect? Well, scripture says we are to strive for perfection. It also says we are to be perfect as Jesus was. Also misquoted is that Jesus was the only perfect one.
Job 1:1] There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Genesis 6:9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Genesis 17:1] And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2nd Kings 20:3] I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
Matthew 5:48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
John 17:23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Phillippians 3:15] Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
James 1:4] But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing
1st Peter 5:10] But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

This song reminds me that Im just a sinner, but what ya get aint what it seems... Im just human buried in denial! With that said Im so thankful what Jesus sacrificed for me and I will continue to evaluate my new self.... Even when I'm at my best I can still fall to sinning a little bit but I am living my life the best I can from now on to glorify god and Jesus even when I slip up... Thank you Lord for your gift of eternal life.. I will continue to keep myself in check... ✌️❤️

Just remember, Jesus knows your heart. Regardless of the sins you make. Don't beat yourself down for making mistakes, remember we are all just recovering sinners. Myself since 2015
