The Staple Singers - Name the Missing World lyrics
[The Staple Singers - Name the Missing World lyrics]
Boy and a girl all alone
The lights are out and the shades are drawn
What they doin' if you wanna know
The missing word will tell you so
Just to see how smart you are
Name the word that's in this part
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
You never gave her a chance to say
That she went up to the church to pray
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
'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
The lights are out and the shades are drawn
What they doin' if you wanna know
The missing word will tell you so
Just to see how smart you are
Name the word that's in this part
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
You never gave her a chance to say
That she went up to the church to pray
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
'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
