Her parents they were Catholic
So by default so was she
She was grappling
With those traditions and her needs
And I was in the middle
Where I always seemed to be
Knowing that she put another man
Over me
God she was angelic
And I do not embellish
She went to school with him
But I hoped that she would expel him
Think she thought me handsomer
But she would never tell him
Got in a suit to see his house
And he was getting jealous
Oh woah woah woah woah
She put that man over me
(She put that man over me)
Oh woah woah woah woah
Up to the heights I can't reach
(Up to the heights I can't reach)
Bring him down
There was a picture of Mary
Above the headboard
In the guest room
In later afternoon
Wasn't long 'til her parents returned
From where they'd gone
I'd see the cross
If they saw our pants were off
My god I'd look at her
And almost would start to cry
'Cause our love was blossoming
But so was our divide
I was down on earth
While he was watching me pine
And he never did anything
His burden wasn't mine
Oh woah woah woah woah
She put that man over me
(She put that man over me)
Oh woah woah woah woah
Up to the heights I can't reach
(Up to the heights I can't reach)
That's too high
Was I a hypocrite to pray
She'd make that man go away
Was I a hypocrite to pray
She'd make that man go away
Yeah yeah
