Love 89

[Verse 1]

Sally snuck in, back of the church

Her skirt showing off her legs

High-heeled shoes, lipstick smeared

No money in her pocket, she was too proud to beg

The old hens clucked

Said she was dirt

Sally was hurt with every word they'd say

How the windows ain't clean

How the yard's full of weeds

And how she does her best work in bed

Best work in bed

Hey, hey hey

Wait a minute now

[Verse 2]

Reverend James thumped his fist on the Bible

As he screamed at everyone

'Bout the state of kids and rock and roll music

Oh, never will they see the sun

But if the reverend could stop throwing so many stones

See the lesson we've got to learn

And a new love's foundation

And help this generation

Find the worth that's worth their earning

Worth their earning

Hey, hey hey

[Verse 3]

Some people love to spend time for Jesus

But got no time for the sinners that be

And even though He shed His blood

To spread the word of love

That makes each and everyone of us free

Free to sing in the choir

Free to stand up tall

But still some people ain't got no time for sinners at all

Everybody say hey

Hey, hey

Take it away, hey

[Verse 4]

They say that Sally don't belong to folks that are decent

No, no she don't belong at all

So Sally lit a candle for all the sweet tears of Mary

And took a seat by the wall

Singing don't make time for Jesus

Unless you got time for the sinners that be

You know He shed His blood

To spread the word love

That makes each and everyone of us free

To sing in the choir

Sing, and to stand up tall

But still some people ain't got no time for sinners at all

Hey, hey hey

Hey, hey hey

[Outro]

People ain't got time

People ain't got time

People ain't got time

Oh, time for sinners

People ain't got time

Oh, time

Oh Lord, people ain't got time

Oh

Stop throwing stones

We've got a lesson to learn

Yes we do, y'all

Sweet love
