José Feliciano - The Itch Lyrics

Oh yeah
Oh oh, yey-ey-ey
Listen to me now

Heavenly Father, up above, have mercy on me (mercy)
After seven years of bad, bad love (bad, bad love)
I finally got free (I finally got free)
I don't mean to seem ungrateful (no, no, no, no)
You answered my prayers (you answered my prayers)
And Father, if you're able (if you're able)
Don't let me do the same thing all over again

You'll get the fever (get the fever)
You'll get the itch (get the itch)
And you'll forget about the mess you were in (the mess you were in)
You forget about the money (uh-uh), the lawyers and the pain (ah-ah)
And do the same thing all over again, yeah

Oh yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh yeah

All mighty Father (mighty father)
Great and good (great and good)
You need to be in my shoes
You let me fall in love (fall in love)
Just like before
And now I'm stepping in a big pile of the blues (stepping in the blues)

But now the honeymoon is over
Let's not pretend (let's not pretend)
I guess I never
Learned my lesson
I did the same damn thing all over again (all over again)

You'll get the fever (get the fever)
You'll get the itch (get the itch)
You forget about the mess you were in (the mess you were in)
You forget about the money (uh-uh), the lawyers and the pain (ah-ah)
And do the same darn thing all over again, yeah

Yeah, you do
Yeah, you do
Hmm-hmm
Yeah-yeah

Mother Mary (Mother Mary), Father Joe (Father Joe)
I need to talk to your Son now (need to talk to your Son)
He had troubles, just like mine
He's the chosen one (he's the chosen one)

So if I ever get to Heaven
Will that be the end? (will that be the end?)
Or will I fall for some sweet angel
And do the same darn thing all over again?

You'll get the fever (get the fever)
You'll get the itch (get the itch)
And you forget about the mess you're in (the mess you are in)
You forget about the money, the lawyers and the pain
And do the same darn thing all over again

You'll get the fever (get the fever)
You'll get the itch (get the itch)
You forget about the mess you were in (the mess you were in)
You forget about the money (uh-uh), the lawyers and the pain (ah-ah)
And do the same thing all over again, yeah

You got the fever (got the fever)
You got the itch (got the itch)
Oh, you know you'll strip me now from the mess you're in (mess you are in)
You forget about the money (uh-uh), the lawyers and the pain (ah-ah)
And do the same thing all over again, Lord

Don't let me go (get the fever) (get the itch)
'Cause you can hear what I say (mess you are in)
I know, I know, I know (uh-uh)
You're with Lord (ah-ah)
You won't let me make the same mistake
Oh uh, hey hey (get the fever) (get the itch)
Forget about the mess you're in (mess you're in)
You'll forget about the money
The lawyers and the pain (ah-ah)
And do it all over again
Hey
