Song lyrics

God is good and fate is great

When it feels so strong it's hard to wait

You never know how it might unfold

Hearts to break and bodies to hold

Time will tell, but it never gets old

Like I told you I'm in for the long, long


Had to have been one of those things

That took place in outer space

A match made in heaven

Not a scratch on her face

Angels must have smoked some dust

Singing songs, about "In God We Trust"

Some things slide, but this is a must

Like I told you there's a time for finding out


Ah, people try to tell me what not to do

"You shouldn't make it with a younger girl"

And too many chances for the foot to drop

I tried to tell them that I found a pearl

Well, like I told you be careful what you're asking for


Hey, sister Brutus

Got a mess of a better half, ow!

Hey, sister Judas

Even you never had my back


She was the cutest thing that I ever did see

A drink in her hand and I don't mean tea

She was with a dude, but I just didn't care

I had to find out, these moments are rare

And Stevie says, "All is fair."

Like I told you there is something for everyone


Well I guess I never told you some things

That I really, really wanted to say

Did I do everything I could do

Or did the mice just need to play?

Like I told you there's more than meets the eye


Hey, sister Brutus

Got a mess of a better half, ow!

Hey, sister Judas

Even you never had my back


I'm not trying to point fingers at you

And I'm not trying to lay any blame

But when it comes to the punishment

Girl, you know how to bring the pain

Like I told you, I'd do it all again


Hey, sister Brutus

Got a mess of a better half, ow!

Hey, sister Judas

Even you never had my back


Come on

Hey, sister Brutus

There's a fury to the woman's wrath

Hey, sister Judas

Even you never had my back
