Mean Heart

Let's do one more [spoken]
That's right, this is a sad, true story
Yeah!
My heart will be satisfied
Once upon a time, you know I wanna die
That ain't right
It's a shame, but I was trapped in my game
I was mean and dull and all these so and so
Mean mistreater and genuine faker
But I got struck by lightening
And now I glow
You gotta get right with God
Fill your heart with love
I couldn't sleep at night, I was filled with fright
Everything I've done and everything I ever was
Comin' back tormenting me
Gnawing at my guts like some hungry ghost
I had to go-cat-go, get away from myself
My whole heart ached, I was so sad and low
But one thing changed my life, and now I know
You gotta get right with God
Fill your hearts with love
We ain't got much time
We only got one life
Oh, tangle! Get down!
Do your thang
Yeah, down on the street
Get somebody loving me
They know something has changed
eyes, shining bright
I got the shining light
Yeah!
That wasn't such a sad story
Was a goodbye to mean heart
Goodbye to bad luck
Too much stress and worry
I got to get right with God
You got to get right with God
Fill your heart with love
We ain't got much time
We only got one life
Baby, get right with god
Fill your heart with lvoe
we ain't got much time
We only got one life
Yeah, I said I got love, I got love, baby
I got love if you want it
I said, got love, baby, I got love, baby
I got love if you want it! Yeah!
