FILLING IN FOR JESUS<br />
<br />
Never thought I’d find a girl like that,<br />
Filling in for Jesus at the laundromat.<br />
Low-rider jeans and a cool floppy hat;<br />
No one prepared me for a girl like that.<br />
<br />
I was living on the edge, pretty close to obscene;<br />
I knew it was time for me to come clean.<br />
So, I took myself down to the washing machine.<br />
Yeah, I took dirty old me to the laundry.<br />
I was just about to get thirty quarters,<br />
When I ran into this woman without borders, <br />
Standing between me and that silver currency.<br />
She said, “The only change you need is me.” <br />
“The only change you need is me.”<br />
<br />
Never thought I’d find a girl like that,<br />
Filling in for Jesus at the laundromat. <br />
Low-rider jeans and a cool floppy hat;<br />
No one prepared me for a girl like that.<br />
<br />
It’s hard to relate everything that transpired,<br />
As I worked my way over to the nearest dryer.<br />
Somehow, some way, she beat me to the spot,<br />
And said, “Make sure you put in everything you’ve got.”<br />
I said, “These dumb machines won’t take dollar bills.”<br />
She said, “So, what makes you think that I will?”<br />
I tried to change the subject immediately,<br />
But she said, “The only change you need is me.”<br />
“The only change you need is me.”<br />
<br />
Never thought I’d find a girl like that,<br />
Filling in for Jesus at the laundromat.<br />
Low-rider jeans and a cool floppy hat;<br />
No one prepared me for a girl like that.<br />
<br />
Now, my clothes are whiter than the driven snow,<br />
And my skin has a healthy, radiant glow.<br />
My eyes gleam brighter than the noonday sun,<br />
Watching for the man who soon may come.<br />
My ears are cleared for a higher calling.<br />
Quick, get the love net, I fear I’m falling.<br />
Just don’t change the station – I like what I see.<br />
She said, “The only change you need is me.”<br />
“The only change you need is me.”<br />
<br />
Never thought I’d find a girl like that,<br />
Filling in for Jesus at the laundromat.<br />
Low-rider jeans and a cool floppy hat;<br />
Now, I’m prepared for a girl like that.<br />
Now, I’m prepared for a girl like that.<br />
<br />
