[Marvin riffing]
Anger
Anger gets the best of me, baby
Anger
I have lost my head
Anger
Often say a lot of things
Anger
Wish I had not said
Oh, baby

(Anger repeats in the background)
When reason gets beyond control
Things I do for spite (makes me ashamed for my meanness)
Makes me ashamed for my meanness
Help me do things right
Somehow, someday soon I hope and pray
I'll soon reach a wiser age
Learn I'll never profit, baby, oh yeah
For things I do in rage

Anger is a flame when it's flaming hot
It burns to a bitter end
When it cools, I find out much too late
I have lost the love, love friend
I don't know why I ever let you unlock
The devil out of me, babe
Why don't we use love, peace and happiness
'cause we control the key?
God made us for a reason
Oh, let me be what I'm supposed to be

Rage, there's no room for rage in there
There's no room for rage in here
Line up some place to go to be mad
It's a sin to treat your body bad
When anger really gets the best of us
I've really lost my head

Often say a lot of things, oh darlin'
Wish I'd never said
Know it's the truth
When reason gets beyond control
And the things we do spite
Makes me ashamed
For my meanness, sugar, never helps me do things right
Someday soon I hope and pray, oh Jesus
I'll reach that wiser age
Yes, I will

I never learn, I never profit
From things I do in rage
One more time-anger, more anger
When it's flaming hot
Anger burns to the bitter end
Know what I'm talkin' 'bout
When it cools I find out too late
I have lost the love, love, love, dear friend
Let's get it
I ain't gonna let you get the best of me, babe
I'm gonna go somewhere and cool
This is not the way my head's supposed to be, babe
Got me feelin' like some silly fool
But I know a real nice place where I can go
And feel the way I'm supposed to feel

I don't want to be mad at nobody
I don't want to be feelin' bad
Up and down my back, in my spine, in my brain
It injures me, baby
Anger, can make you old, yes it can
I said anger will make you sick, children, oh Jesus
Anger destroys your soul
Anger
Anger
