When she was a child, she was a little wild
She didn't play with toys. She wouldn't look at boys
She had a way of her own, now she's up and grown
Ooo boy, nothing's gonna save you
Oh Lord, praise the one who made you
Ooo child, holy water tremble
You know when the night is coming for ya
Ain't nothin' stops the sooner from the later
So life threw you down the wrong road?
Hold tight, baby, that's the way it goes
Now they call her a 'Lady'
The noise, it made her crazy
Still the years went on by
So did her alibi
She's got some kids of her own
Now they're up and grown
Look now, Devil's got you runnin'
From what? Baby are you stumbling'?
Don't blink, death is such a gamble
You know when the night is coming for ya
Ain't nothin' stops the sooner from the later
So life threw you down the wrong road?
Hold tight, baby, that's the way it goes
Don't pick a fight, with a dog who bites
She gonna leave a mark where
She'll tear you apart there
You's such a fool. And she's so cruel
You're gonna sit and pray, to live another day
You know when the night is coming for ya
Ain't nothin' stops the sooner from the later
So life threw you down the wrong road?
Hold tight, baby, that's the way it goes
The way it goes, the way it goes
