for some differ’nt scenery by the by
That’s when you be prayin’ to Jeebus
to control dem deesires
when the perty woman crosses your eyes
and twists you in knots
See, yous you own worse enemy
cause you be needin’ Jeebus
cause Jeebus put you in the trap in the forst pace, see...
by telling you “Keep dem hands to demselves”
And no looky look neethah… suckah
