Instrument of Praise - Shirley Murdock

Y-y-you told me things and I believed them all

You disappeared at times but that didn’t matter at all

Who knew those lonely nights I waited for your call (Waited for your call)

I didn’t know back then that you were someone’s

Husband, my desire for you is strong

But I wont do wrong, cuz you’re that lady’s

Husband, and my decency prevails

Yes it does and it wont let me keep you no

So I’m letting you go (Letting you go)

Yeah, so I’m letting you go (Letting you go)

Oh, you satisfied a real desire in me

Before I followed you, I still had those needs

Well I’m a lady with class and I know my desires will pass

(This will not occur) Cuz you are her

Husband, my desire for you is strong

But I wont do wrong, cuz you’re that lady’s

Husband, and my decency prevails

Yes it does and it wont let me keep you no

So I’m letting you go (Letting you go)

So I’m letting you go (Letting you go)

I might not be all that I want to be

I’ve been a fool before, I did things I deplore

But after you, if Mo is gonna be a fool

A fool over any man (Yeah), then that man has got to be my

Husband, I know, I already know you are her husband (Husband, husband)

Desire says I should but I say no

I say no, I say no

Desire says I should but I say no

(I say no, no)

Desire says I should… but I say no
