Saved - The Commitments

I used to smoke, I used to drink

I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochie-coo

I used to smoke and drink

Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie-coo, oh yeah

But now I’m standing on this corner

Praying for me and you

That’s why I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

People, let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come

You know, I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb

I’m in that soul saving army

Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah

I used to cuss, I used to fuss

I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long

I used to cuss and fuss

Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long

But now, I’m standing on this corner

I know right from wrong

That’s why I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

People, let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come

You know, I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb

I’m in that soul saving army

Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah

I used to lie, lie

I used to cheat, cheat

I used to lie, lie, cheat, cheat and step on people’s feet

I used to lie and cheat

Lie and cheat and step on people’s feet, oh yeah

But now I’m stepping on the glory

Salvation is my beat, oh yeah

Because I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

People, let me tell you about a kingdom come

You know, I’m saved, saved

Oh, saved, saved

I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb

I’m in that soul saving army

Beating on that big bass drum, oh yeah

That’s why I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

I’m saved, saved

Saved
