There’s a devil waiting outside your doorВ
(How much longer?)В
There’s a devil waiting outside your doorВ
And he’s bucking and braying and pawing at the floorВ
And he’s howling with pain and crawling up the walls, oh yeahВ
There’s a devil waiting outside your doorВ
He’s weak with evil and broken by the worldВ
He’s shouting your name and he’s asking for more, give him more, give him moreВ
There’s a devil waiting outside your door, oh yeahВ
Loverman! Since the world beganВ
Forever, amen till end of timeВ
Take off that dress I’m coming down, I’m your lovermanВ
‘Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I amВ
L is for love, babyВ
O is for only you that I doВ
V is for loving virtually all that you areВ
E is for loving almost everything that you doВ
R is for rape me and
M is for murder me and
A is for answering all of my prayersВ
N is for knowing your loverman’s going toВ
Be the answer to all of yoursВ
Loverman! Till the bitter endВ
While empires burn down forever and everВ
And ever and ever amen, I’m your lovermanВ
So help me, baby so help meВ
‘Cause I am what I am, what I am what I am, what I amВ
I’ll be your loverman!В
There’s a devil crawling along your floorВ
There’s a devil crawling along your floorВ
With a trembling heart, he’s come through the doorВ
With his strain and sex and his jumping paw, oh yeahВ
There’s a devil crawling along your floorВ
And he’s old and he’s stupid andВ
He’s hungry and he’s soreВ
And he’s lame and he’s blindВ
And he’s dirty and he’s poorВ
Give him more, give him more, В give him more, give him more, give him more, give him more
There’s a devil crawling along your floor, oh yeah
В
Loverman! Now here I stand, forever amenВ
‘Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
Forgive me baby, my hands are tiedВ
And I got no choice, no I got no choice at allВ
I’ll say it againВ
L is for love and
O is for o yes I doВ
V is for virtue, so I ain’t gonna hurt youВ
E is for even if you want me toВ
R is for render unto me, babyВ
M is for that which is mine and
A is for any old how, darling and
N is for any old timeВ
I’ll be your loverman! I got a master planВ
To take off your dress and be your manВ
Seize the throne, seize the mantleВ
Seize the crown ’cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am, what I amВ
Your loverman!В
There’s a devil lying by your sideВ
You might think he’s asleepВ
But look at his eyesВ
He wants you, baby, to be his brideВ
There’s a devil lying by your side, oh yeah
В
Oh he’s a loverman!В
Oh he’s a loverman!
Can you comphrend
‘Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
‘Cause he’s a loverman!
A real loverman!
A real loverman!
