God is good and fate is great,
When it feels so strong it's hard to wait.
You never know how it might unfold,
Hearts to break and bodies to hold.
Time will tell but it never gets old.
Like I told you I'm in for a long long.
Had to have been one of those things
That took place in outer space.
A match made in heaven, not a scratch on her face.
Angels must have smoked some dust,
Singing songs about "In God We Trust".
Some things slide, but this is a must.
Like I told you there's a time for finding out.
Ah people try to tell me what not to do,
"You shouldn't make it with a younger girl", and
Too many chances for the foot to drop,
I tried to tell 'em that I found a pearl, well...
Like I told you be careful what you're asking for.
[Chorus:]
Hey, sister Brutus
Got a mess of a better half, ow
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back.
She was the cutest thing that I ever did see.
A drink in her hand and I don't mean tea.
She was with a dude, but I just didn't care.
I had to find out, these moments are rare.
And Stevie says, "All is fair."
Like I told you there is something for everyone.
Well I guess I never told you some things
That I really, really wanted to say.
Did I do everything I could do,
Or did the mice just need to play?
Like I told you there's more than meets the eye.
[Chorus:]
Hey, sister Brutus
I've got a mess of a better half, ow
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back.
I'm not trying to point fingers at you,
And I'm not trying to lay any blame.
But when it comes to the punishment,
Girl, you know how to bring the pain.
Like I told you I'd do it all again.
[Chorus:]
Hey, sister Brutus
I've got a mess of a better half, ow
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back.
Come on
Hey, sister Brutus
There's a fury to the woman's wrath
Hey, sister Judas
Even you never had my back.

A match made in heaven
Not a scratch on her face
