I didn't wanna make you angry
I didn't wanna make you cry
I didn't wanna make you hate me
Wish that I would die

I prayed to the Lord don't let me speak
Feeling weak I kept on talking
Walking right into a death trap

If a man can't hold his tongue
'Til the anger is done
He'll be walking right into a death trap

I didn't wanna make you crazy
I didn't wanna pitch a fit
I didn't wanna make you pack a bag
Ready to call it quits

I prayed to the Lord, don't let me speak
Being me I kept on talking
Walking right into a death trap

If a man can't hold his tongue
'Til the anger is done
He'll be walking right in, walking right in, walking right into a death trap

The devil's got a hold on me
He's a-hoping for a kill
I don't deserve no mercy, no
But mercy, Lord, if You will

I know better but I don't know better
I know better but I don't know better
I know better but I don't do better, no

I know better but I don't know better
I know better but I don't know better
I know better but I don't do better, no

If a man can't hold his tongue
'Til the anger is done
He'll be walking right in, walking right in, walking right into a death trap

I didn't wanna make her angry
I didn't wanna make her cry
I didn't wanna make her hate me
Wish that I would die

I prayed to You, Lord, don't let me speak
Being me I kept on talking
Walking right into a death trap

If a man can't hold his tongue
'Til the anger is done
He'll be walking right in, walking right in, walking right into a death trap

It's a death trap
