THE DEVIL DIDN’T LOOK SO BAD
WEARING HEALS AND LONG BLACK HAIR
AND SAYING SOMETHING THAT I
CAN’T BEGIN TO RECALL, THOUGH I TRY
I SAID LOVER PLEASE TURN ON THE LIGHT
IF IT FEELS THIS GOOD YOU KNOW IT’S GOT TO LOOK RIGHT
AND FOR MY CLOSING NUMBER
WON’T YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES AND SAY HI (HI)
LET ME BREATHE IT IN
AND BITE YOUR LIP BYE BYE
EVEN MAMA KNEW THE BOY WAS WRONG (AND I’M ON MY WAY)
HE COMES AND GOES BUT HE’S NEVER GONE (YOU KNOW WHO I AM)
BUT WHEN HE’S THERE, LORD IT DON’T FEEL LATE
GONNA PAVE MY WAY TO HEAVEN
MAKING LOVE TO THE SINNER I KNOW
THERE’S MORE THAN YOU KNOW
TRYING TO BE GOOD ALL THE TIME
I’M TELLING YOU BABY, IT’S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH STYLE
THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND I
DO INDENT TO GET MINE. HALLELHUIA!
YES, I KNOW SOMETIMES THERE’LL BE PAIN
SOMETIMES THE BIG BOSS JUST DECIDES TO MAKE IT RAIN
AND WHEN YOU GET THE BLUES
IT’S MORE THAN JUST A QUESTION OF TIME (TIME)
TIME TO LICK YOUR WOUNDS, TIME TO WONDER WHY (WHY)
TIME TO GET OUT THERE, AND SET SOMEONE ON FIRE
EVEN MAMA KNEW THE BOY WAS WRONG (AND I’M ON MY WAY)
HE COMES AND GOES BUT HE’S NEVER GONE (YOU KNOW WHO I AM)
BUT WHEN HE’S THERE, LORD IT DON’T FEEL LATE
GONNA PAVE MY WAY TO HEAVEN
MAKING LOVE TO THE SINNER I KNOW
THERE’S MORE THAN YOU KNOW
PAVING MY WAY TO HEAVEN (SOMETIMES IT’S GOOD)
MAKING LOVE TO THE STRANGER (SOMETIMES IS WRONG)
