You Make me Wanna go to Church

from West 28th Street by Brigid Kaelin

/

lyrics

I heard a voice a’wailin’ about that old-time religion
And i found I couldn’t help but sing along
It’s too late to turn back now, you know,
I’m gonna need to be forgiven,
You crucified me softly with your song

Boy, you make me wanna go to church
You make me wanna praise the Lord,
Throw my hands up and be saved.
The way you shake those hips has got me
Thinkin’ thoughts no Christian girl should have
You make me wanna misbehave.

I love the way those blue eyes glisten
When you look me up and down
It’s like the first time every time we meet.
You won’t take me to the alter, but you’ll take me in the yard.
Gotta get a little dirity before it’s time to get all clean.

Boy, you make me wanna go to church...

Now we travel town to town with a guitar and a bible,
Though prayin’ is the last thing I expect
And our camping gives new meaning to that old time Tent Revival
When I get down on my knees and genuflect.

Boy, you make me wanna go to church
You make me wanna praise the Lord,
Throw my hands up and be saved.
The way you shake those hips has got me
Thinkin’ thoughts no Christian girl should have
You make me wanna misbehave.

Yeah, forget the Holy Trinity, you and me and sin makes three
You make me wanna misbehave.
You make me wanna get down on my knees and pray.
