Why you do me wrong When you wear that dress Oh, my heart just can't take it anymore When you act like this It's like your mama never taught you how to love So let me teach you Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my God Dance with that body, girl 'Cause everybody

Oh happy day (oh happy day) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) He washed my sins away (oh happy day) He taught me how to watch, fight and pray, fight and pray And live rejoicing every, everyday Oh happy day He taught me how

Oh, oh, you made me feel so grown You took me to your room You taught me how to want something Last night I heard the sirens' song And I followed it in the ditch Oh baby, I'm just carrying on Far be it for me to bitch Last night I heard the distant hum

Oh happy day When Jesus washed He washed my sins away Fight and pray When my Jesus washed Oh He taught me how To watch and pray I live rejoicing every day

Oh happy day (oh happy day) When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed) Oh happy day (oh happy day) He washed my sins away (oh happy day) He taught me how to watch, Fight and pray fight and pray And live rejoicing every, everyday Oh happy day He taught me how
