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)
