The Itch (Album Version) - Keb' Mo'

Heavenly father up above

Have mercy on me

After 7 years of bad bad love

I finally got free

I don't mean to seem ungrateful

You answered my prayers

And father if you're able

Don't let me do the same damn thing all over again

You get the fever

You get the itch

And you forget about the mess you were in

You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain

And do the same damn thing all over again

Oh mighty father great and good

You need to be in my shoes

You let me fall in love just like before

And now I'm stepping in a big pile of the blues

But now the honeymoon is over

Let's not pretend

I guess I never

Learned my lesson

I did the same damn thing all over again

You get the fever

You get the itch

And you forget about the mess you were in

You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain

And do the same damn thing all over again

Mother Mary father Joe

I need to talk to your son

He had troubles just like mine

And he's the chosen one

So if I ever go to heaven will that be the end

Or will I fall for some sweet little angel

And do the same damn thing all over again

You get the fever

You get the itch

And you forget about the mess you were in

You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain

And do the same damn thing all over again

You get the fever

You get the itch

And you forget about the mess you were in

You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain

And do the same damn thing all over again
