Heavenly father up above Have mercy on me After 7 years of bad bad love I finally got free I don't mean to seem ungrateful You answered my prayers And father if you're able Don't let me do the same damn thing all over again You get the fever You get the itch And you forget about the mess you were in You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain And do the same damn thing all over again Oh mighty father great and good You need to be in my shoes You let me fall in love just like before And now I'm stepping in a big pile of the blues But now the honeymoon is over Let's not pretend I guess I never Learned my lesson I did the same damn thing all over again You get the fever You get the itch And you forget about the mess you were in You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain And do the same damn thing all over again Mother Mary, father Joe I need to talk to your son He had troubles just like mine And he's the chosen one So if I ever go to heaven, will that be the end? Or will I fall for some sweet little angel And do the same damn thing all over again You get the fever You get the itch And you forget about the mess you were in You forget about the money, the lawyers and the pain And do the same damn thing all over again
