Boy and a girl all alone
The lights are out and the shades are drawn
What they're doin' if you wanna know
The missing word will tell you so
And just to see how smart you are
Name the word missing in this part, y'all

Name the missing word
Name the missing word

Your old lady come home late one night
First thing you wanna do is start a fight
He never gave her a chance to say
That she'd went up to the church to pray
And just to show you how smart you are
You didn't know what was in her heart

She'd been prayin'
Prayin'
Prayin'

You go around thinkin' that you know it all
Filthy man's gonna be your downfall
You're always ready to accuse someone
Never knowing what they've done
Since you think that you so smart
Name the word missing in this part

You oughta be
You just oughta be
You need to be
Down on your knees

You oughta be prayin'
You just oughta be prayin'
You need to be prayin'
Down on your knees
