Testo Reverend Lee - Roberta Flack
Testo della canzone Reverend Lee (Roberta Flack), tratta dall'album Chapter Two
This is a song about a very big, strong
Black, sexy, southern Baptist minister
Who thinks that he has his program all together
Until he runs up against a lady who
Shows him that he ain't got it together
His name is Reverend Doctor Lee
Reverend Lee, he went to the water
And he prayed to the Lord
'Bout old Satan's daughter, yeah
It seems in a dream, child
While he lay sleeping
She climbed in his bed
Starts rubbing and weaving
Oh, she was twisting and turning
She was begging and pleading
Loving and burning
Panting and breathing, ha, ha
Reverend Lee, she said
Said, "Lord knows I love you, child
I would not even place God above you"
Reverend Lee, he lifted his arms high
Said, "Heavenly Father, take me home to the sky"
He said, "Lord, please don't test me
Not down where she touched me
Oh, my mind is so hazy
Lord, my body is hungry, oh yeah"
God rolled the thunder
Then heard the lightning
He seemed to be angry, oh
Sure was frightening
The thunder grew louder, louder
Darkened conditions
Just then a voice said
"God cannot be petitioned"
Just then the devil emerged from the water
And he said in a dry voice
"Your God will not bother"
Reverend Lee ran screaming from the water
He was hotly pursued by old Satan's daughter
Reverend Lee, she said
Reverend Lee, Reverend Lee
Reverend Lee, oh, do it to me
Reverend Lee, do it to me
Reverend Lee, oh, do it to me
Reverend Lee, do it to me
Reverend Lee, Reverend Lee
