FMama got a look at you and got a little worried
BbPapa got a look at you and got a little worried
The Ampastor got a look and said, "Y'all had better hurry"
Send her Coff to a little Bible college in Missouri
And Fnow you come back, saying you know a little bit about
BbEvery little thing they ever hoped you'd never figure out
DmEve ate the apple cause the apple was sweet
What kinda CGod would ever keep a girl from getting what she needs?
And FI'm
Getting ready to Bbget down
Getting ready to Dmget down
Getting ready to Cget down
Now, Fpeople cross the street when you walk in their direction
BbTalk between their teeth and throwin' epithets
And the Dmdoctor thinks the devil must've got you by your senses
But to Clive the way you please doesn't sound like possession
It's Ffour long years studying the Bible
BbInfidels, Jezebels, Salomes and Delilahs
DmBack off the bus in your own hometown
Say you Cdidn't like me then, you probably won't like me now
And FI'm
Getting ready to Bbget down
Getting ready to Dmget down
Getting ready to Cget down
All the Dmmen of the country club, the Ladies of 'Xiliary
BbTalk about love like it's apple pie and liberty
To Freally be a saint, you gotta really be a virgin
CDry as a page of the King James version
No "Dmooh la-las," no "oh, hell yeses"
No "BbI can't wait 'til I gotta see you agains's"
Just Fturn the other cheek, take no chances
CJesus hates your high school dances
FBbDmC
Said your Fsoul needed saving, so they sent you off to Bible school
You Bblearned a little more than they had heard was in the Golden Rule
"Be Dmgood to everybody, be a strength to the weak
Be a Cjoy to the joyful, be the laughter in the grief"
And Fgive your love freely to whoever that you please
Don't Bblet nobody tell you 'bout to who you oughta be
And Dmwhen you get damned in the popular opinion
It's Cjust another damn of the damns you're not giving
And FI'm
Getting ready to Bbget down
Getting ready to Dmget down
Getting ready to Cget down
FMama got a look at you and got a little worried
BbPapa got a look at you and got a little worried
The Ampastor got a look and said, "Y'all had better hurry"
Send her Coff to a little Bible college in Missouri
And Fnow, you come back, saying you know a little bit about
BbEvery little thing they ever hoped you'd never figure out
The DmRed Sea, The Dead Sea, the Sermon on the Mount
If you Cwanna see a miracle, watch me GET DOWN!
And FI'm
Getting ready to Bbget down
Getting ready to Dmget down
Getting ready to Cget down (2x)
