You never thought that you'd ever get caught

With your hand up in the cookie jar

Playing spades with the devil

Now, boy, why'd you have to go and do that for?

See, you better stop your bluffing now

You know they make up the rules

You think you playing the game

Now, brother, you played the fool

They gon' play you for a fool

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul to keep

And if I die before I wake

Must be a mistake, lord take me back

Know it ain't right sometimes

But we running all through my mind

I know it ain't right

Don't believe it when they say justice is blind

Oh, there's something awful in the way

You've been working all on my nerves

And I've been thinking every day

I'm gonna give them what they deserve

They gon' get what they deserve

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul to keep

And if I die before I wake

Said, if I die before I wake

Well if I die before I wake

It's got to, got to, got to be a mistake, lord take me back

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul to keep

And if I die before I wake

I know it got to be a mistake, lord take me back

Ooh, take me back

Whoa, lord take me back

Ooh, you got to take me back

I don't need this, I don't deserve it

It ain't my fault, ain't nobody perfect

This ain't justice, and I didn't do it

They just talking, but they can't prove it

Gimme a chance, start over again

All I want is a different end

Start it over, over again

Do it over again, do it over again, start it over again
