ANNIE LENNOX - Missionary Man lyrics

rate me

Well I was born an original sinner <br />

I was borne from original sin <br />

And if I had a dollar bill <br />

There'd be a mountain of money <br />

Piled up to my chin... <br />

My mother told me good <br />

My mother told me strong <br />

She said "be true to yourself <br />

And you can't go wrong." <br />

"But there's just one thing <br />

That you must understand: <br />

You can fool with your brother <br />

But don't mess with a missionary man." <br />

Don't mess with a missionary man <br />

Don't mess with a missionary man <br />

Well the missionary man <br />

He's got God in his side <br />

He's got the saints and apostles <br />

Backin' up from behind <br />

Black eyed looks from those Bible books <br />

He's a man with a mission <br />

Got a serious mind <br />

There was a woman in the jungle <br />

And a monkey on a tree <br />

The missionary man he was followin' me <br />

He said "Stop what you're doing <br />

Get down upon your knees <br />

I've a message for you that you better believe."
