Heavenly Father up above
Have mercy on me
After seven years of bad bad love
I finally got free
I don't mean to seem ungrateful
You answered my prayer
And Father if you're able
Don't let me do the same damn thing all over again
Chorus:
You get the fever
You get the itch
You forget about the mess you are in
You forget about the money, the lawyers and the pain
And do the same damn thing all over again
Almighty Father, great and good
You need to be in my shoes
You let me fall in love, just like before
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
(repeat chorus)
Mother Mary, Father Joe
I need to talk to your son
He had troubles just like mine
And he was the chosen one
So if I ever go to heaven
Will that be the end
Or will I fill for some sweet little angel
And do the same damn thing all over again
(repeat chorus)
