  • I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that
    You finally got rid of that girlfriend
    You finally came out of that love coma boy
    I heard Mary Jane at the powder-puff beauty shop
    Sayin' that blond in her tube top
    She left our Jimmy for a boy in Illinois
    Someone give me an amen,
    Someone give me an amen.

    Can I get a thank God Hallelujah
    You finally saw what she was doing to ya
    Your mama called it, she was right
    Glad to see you saw the light.
    Whole town yeah we hooped and hollered.
    She drove away nobody stopped her
    Na na na na na, I'll say it again
    Someone give me an amen.

    Yeah right, like I really coulda said something
    You wouldn't heard it if the train was coming
    You had your head so high in the clouds
    Oh I, I had a really good reason
    For hiding my feelings but now I can finally spit it out
    Someone give me an amen.
    Someone give me an amen.

    Can I get a thank God Hallelujah
    You finally saw what she was doing to ya
    Your mama called it, she was right
    Glad to see you saw the light.
    Whole town yeah we hooped and hollered.
    She drove away nobody stopped her
    Na na na na na, I'll say it again
    Someone give me an amen.

    I'm standing right here in front of you
    I think I love you too
    Can I get a thank God Hallelujah
    Baby do you believe it, do you?
    Your mama called it, she was right
    Glad to see you saw the light.

    Whole town yeah they hooped and hollered.
    The preacher's son and the farmer's daughter.
    Na na na na na, I'll say it again
    Someone give me an amen,
    Someone give me an amen
