oh Jesus Anger destroys your soul 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 We've really lost our heads We often say a lof of things, oh darlin' Wish we'd never said Oh, reason is beyond control And the things we do spite Makes me ashamed And I mean this, baby, makes me want to the things right Someday soon I hope and pray like Jesus I'll reach that wiser age Hope I will learn I really never 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 at love, love, love, dear friend I said, anger will make you sick, Children, oh Jesus Anger destroys your soul 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 You've 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, my spine, in my brain It injures me, babe Anger, can make you old, yes it can I said anger will make you sick, children, oh Jesus Anger destroys your soul Anger Anger

Anger, can make you old, yes it can I said anger, can make you sick, children...

Anger was released on December 15, 1978 by UNI/MOTOWN as a part of the album Here, My Dear

Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain

Anger, can make you old, yes it can

I said anger, will make you sick children (Oh, Jesus)

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

We've really lost our heads

We often say a lot of things, oh darlin'

Wish we'd never said

Oh, reason is beyond control

And the things we do for spite

Makes me ashamed for my meanness, baby

Makes me want to do things right

Someday soon I hope and pray like Jesus

I'll reach that wiser age

Hope I will learn I really never never profit

One more time anger, more anger

When it's flaming hot

Anger burns to the bitter end

Know what I'm talkin' 'bout

And when it cools I find out too late

I have lost at love, love, love, dear friend

I said, anger will make you sick children (Oh, Jesus)

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

You've 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, oh

I don't want to be mad at nobody

I don't want to be feelin' bad

Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain

Anger, can make you old, yes it can

I said anger, will make you sick children (Oh, Jesus)

Anger, destroy your soul, ooh

Anger destroys your soul
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

Makes me ashamed
And I mean this, baby, makes me want to the things right
Someday soon I hope and pray like Jesus

Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain
It injures me, babe
Anger, can make you old, yes it can
I said anger will make you sick, children, oh Jesus

"Anger"

Up and down my back, my spine, in my brain
It injures me, babe....

Anger, can make you old, yes it can
I said anger, can make you sick, children...

oh Jesus
Anger destroys your soul
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

When anger really gets the best of us
We've really lost our heads
We often say a lof of things, oh darlin'
Wish we'd never said
Oh, reason is beyond control
And the things we do spite
Makes me ashamed
And I mean this, baby, makes me want to the things right

Someday soon I hope and pray like Jesus
I'll reach that wiser age
Hope I will learn I really never never profit
From things I do in rage

One more time-anger, more ager

Anger burns to the bitter end
Know what i'm talkin' 'bout
When it cools I find out too late
I have lost at love, love, love, dear friend
I said, anger will make you sick,

You've 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, my spine, in my brain
It injures me, babe

Anger, can make you old, yes it can
I said anger will make you sick, children, oh Jesus
Anger destroys your soul
