Lyrics > The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Mean Heart

That’s right, this is a sad, true story

Yeah!

My heart will be satisfied
Once upon a time, you know I wanna die
That ain’t right
It’s a shame, but I was trapped in my game
I was mean and dull and all these so and so
Mean mistreater and genuine faker
But I got struck by lightening
And now I glow

You gotta get right with God
Fill your heart with love

I couldn’t sleep at night, I was filled with fright
Everything I’ve done and everything I ever was
Comin’ back tormenting me
Gnawing at my guts like some hungry ghost

I had to go-cat-go, get away from myself
My whole heart ached, I was so sad and low
But one thing changed my life, and now I know
You gotta get right with God
Fill your hearts with love
We ain’t got much time
We only got one life

Oh, tangle! Get down!
Do your thang
Yeah, down on the street
Get somebody loving me

They know something has changed
eyes, shining bright
I got the shining light
Yeah!
That wasn’t such a sad story
Was a goodbye to mean heart
Goodbye to bad luck
Too much stress and worry
I got to get right with God

You got to get right with God
Fill your heart with love
We ain’t got much time
We only got one life

Baby, get right with god
Fill your heart with lvoe
we ain’t got much time
We only got one life

Yeah, I said I got love, I got love, baby
I got love if you want it
I said, got love, baby, I got love, baby
I got love if you want it! Yeah!
