Better get a room up in heaven
Way up in heaven
Child get a room
Well Well Lord
Better get you a room up in heaven
Better get a room,
Oh, oh, Lord
Don't you mind what people say,
Oh don't, don't be depaired
Better get a room,
way---- up in heaven
Before it's too late get a room
Well Well Lord

Well let me tell you
Lord, what happened just the other day
Well, well Lord,
Met a man they call Jesus
Came and He took mine cares away
Lord I know He came, Lord, into my heart
And opened, He didn't say start
Better get a room
Way up in God's heaven
Brother got a room
