Parody of "Addicted to Love" performed and written by Robert Palmer
(Matthew 5:43-48, Luke 6:27-36, Romans 12:14-21, John 13:34-35,
1 Corinthians 6:1-8)
Your rights are wronged, but your Ride Home
Says, "You're Mine -- you're not your own"
Your heart frets, your body shakes
You know that this was no mistake
You can't speak (whoa-oh) through clenched teeth
There's no doubt -- you've been grieved
You're so uptight -- you can't believe
You must forgive your enemies
Whoa-oh-oh
You like to think that you don't do stupid stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you ain't good enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're expected to love
There's famous lines that you can read
They start in Matthew 5:43
You want peace in troubled times
Get over this and you'll be fine
Without that mind you can't be saved
Forgiving others as God forgave
But there's something more in Luke
6:29 for you too
Whoa-oh-oh
You like to think that you don't do stupid stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you ain't good enough
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're expected to love
He writes in John -- the world will know
You're His -- by love you've shown
The bar's set by Jesus Christ
In John 13, verse 35
Ohh oohh
You like to think that you don't do stupid stuff, oh yeah
Romans 12:14 through 20 and 21
You know, you're gonna have to face it
You're expected to love
You might as well face it -- you're expected to love
REPEAT 7X
Matthew 5:44-45
"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that
you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the
evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
