Every time that you walk in
Lord knows I need saving
Yeah, whenever you threw it like that
And you do it like that, oh lady
Oh your body got me praying
Kisses got me losing patience
My God, when you do it like that
First I gotta say I'm thankful (Yeah)
Every time a nigga, get up, get up in your temple (Whoo)
Girl you know you're blessed from your hair down to your nail (Yeah)
To your nail (Whoo)
Body like a sanctuary, yeah (Yeah-ayy, yeah-ayy)
Body like a sanctuary, yeah (Yeah-ayy, yeah-ayy)
Girl baptize me in your water (Oh)
Girl you got me caught up (Oh)
Oh I think I love you (Oh)
Body like a sanctuary, yeah (Yeah-ayy, yeah-ayy)
Oh Lord as my witness (Hmm)
After this I'll need forgiveness (Hmm)
Work you out like fitness (Hmm)
Oh yeah 'cause I know you like that, yeah I know you like that, oh
Oh my, grateful for this blessing of mine
Kissing on your inner thighs
Oh 'cause I know you like that, yeah I know you like that
First I gotta say I'm thankful (Yeah)

Your glow just keep me in a daze
Make me wanna raise my hands and stomp my feet
I could meditate in your temple for weeks, you
Bring out the best in me
Angelic, gifted, forever givin' your all and all
You're evidently like Heaven with it, that's why I call
I know your doors is always open, that's if I'm ready
I'm grateful that I was chosen and I'm hoping I can come off in your sanctuary, cruisin'

"Are you fucking kidding me Jamal?
Why haven't you called me back yet and who the fuck is Mia?

Things are the way they are,
Because you have no consideration towards me"
