Now the same old devil gave the same old problems
When the Lord walked the earth down here
He was always deceiving and causing confusion
To anyone who would hear
He was always trying to cause unbelief
For he didnt want a poor soul to see
That all youve gotta do is only to believe
Just believe what the messenger said
CHORUS
Dont tell me what he meant
Just tell me what he said
Dont tell me what he meant
Just tell me what he said
I dont have no time for private
Interpretations my friend
Just tell me what he said
Dont tell me what he meant
Oh no! Tell me what he said
And dont tell me what he meant
Now today, strange voices we can hear
All over through out the land
Trying to teach what the messenger said
They just tell so much higher than him
Theyve a new revelation and interpretation
And theyll tell you they are the leaders now
But little bride you just stay with the tapes
Gods vindicated what the messenger said
CHORUS
Dont tell me what he meant
Just tell me what he said
Dont tell me what he meant
Just tell me what he said
I dont have no time for private
Interpretations my friend
Just tell me what he said
Dont tell me what he meant
Oh no! Tell me what he said
And dont tell me what he meant
