lyrics

tell me, baby, one more time
what you're gonna tell him when he looks you in the eye
and asks you, baby, where you've been
and whether you been messing around on him
cause i gotta wife and i gotta kid
but don't think i'll be telling them what we did
cause i'm a man, baby, of the lord
but i ain't never seen such a sin before
amen, amen, amen

i seen you sunday at the service
i was trying to give a sermon, you was making me nervous
looking like an angel there that fell
pretty as a picture, baby, hotter than hell
then "hallelujah!' sang the choir
while you burned through that dress just like a 4-alarm fire
who would ever have suspected then
we'd been rolling through my bedsheets looking guilty as sin
tangled in my bedsheets guilty as sin
amen, amen, amen

don't touch me no more than you have
cause i don't know what god'd have to say about that
don't you know he's watching all the time?
don't you think he's seen your hand in mine?
hallowed be they name
you're gonna make me go insane

ain't you worried about your soul?
we was like a hellfire burning out of control
but the lord always understands
all about the earthly desires of a man
and he made woman just for this
to test the wills of the men he loved best
ain't you heard me from there in the pew?
ain't you ever known that i was talking to you?
amen, amen, amen
