Love 89 - Patti LaBelle

Sally snuck in

The back of the church

Her skirts showing off her legs

High-heeled shoes

Lipstick smeared

No money in her pocket she was too proud to beg

Raw hands gloved

Said she was dirty

Sally was hurt with every word they said

«Hallo queen of England»

Sally was so weak

Of «Oh she does her best work in bed»

Best work in bed

Hey

Hey hey

Wait a minute now

Reverend James thought

He’d stress on the Bible

As he screamed at everyone

I could see the tease

On rock and roll music

Lord help them will they see the sun

Huh?

See the sun

But if the reverend could have sawn

Sally’s soul in his heart

He’d see the lesson he’d got to learn

Learn the new law of salvation

And help this generation

Find the worth that’s worth the earning

Worth the earning

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 love

That makes each and everyone of us free

Free to sing in the choir

Free to stand up tall

But still some people aint got no time for sinners at all

Hey

Hey Hey

Take it away

Oh

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

No, no don’t recall at all

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

And took a seat by the wall

Say 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 aint got no time for sinners at all

Everybody say hey

Say hey

Oh

Stop loving so

We’ve got to accept the call

(To Lovin)

Yes we do y’all

Oh, love

Sweet love

Love

Sweet love

Never stop
