[Verse 1]
I was stupid, really stupid
Something told me deep inside better not do it
What a dummy, such a dummy
To let some mess I shouldn't have did take you from me
Girl, if I could take it back, it'd be so back
I'd be such an angel
You'd think that me and Jesus was cool
Like that, just like that
Everything between us be good
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, I know what I should have done
Should have walked away the moment that I saw her coming
But I blew it, really blew it
And lost the only girl I love
[Chorus]
Dear God if you're listening now
I need you do a thing for me
You see my baby, she done up and walked out
I need you bring her back to me
I know that I was wrong, I was guilty as sin
Probably not priority
But dear God if you're listening now
Down here, dying, begging, crying
Somebody need to pray for me
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Dear God if you're listening
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm...
[Verse 2]
Thought I was something, really something
In the end, who knew I'd end up with nothing?
I was fronting, truly fronting
Girl, I really can't be mad, I had it coming
Guess if I was half the man I know I am
I would be so good that even Oprah be jealous of you
It's like that, yeah, like that
Everything between us be good
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, I know what I should have done
Should have walked away the moment that I saw her coming
But I blew it, really blew it
And lost the only girl I love
[Chorus]
Dear God if you're listening now
I need you do a thing for me
You see my baby, she done up and walked out
I need you bring her back to me
I know that I was wrong, I was guilty as sin
Probably not priority
But dear God if you're listening now
I'm down here, dying, begging, crying
Somebody oughta pray for me
[Bridge]
I'm making you this promise right now
If you can do this one thing for me
I'll be the man that you want
I'll be the man that you need
Church every Sunday
Prayers every Monday
Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday
Just bring my baby back to me
[Chorus]
Dear God if you're listening now
I need you do a thing for me
You see my baby, she done up and walked out
I need you bring her back to me
I know that I was wrong, I was guilty as sin
Probably not priority
But dear God if you're listening now
I'm down here, dying, begging, crying
Somebody oughta pray for me
[Outro]
Oh, Lord, please listen to my cry, yeah
Bring my baby back to me
Oh God, oh oh...
I was stupid, really stupid
Something told me deep inside better not do it
What a dummy, such a dummy
To let some mess I shouldn't have did take you from me
