Loverman Lyrics

There’s a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?)
There’s a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?)
And he is bucking and braying and pawing on the floor (how much longer?)
Well, he’s howling with pain and crawling up the walls (how much longer?) oh yeah
And there’s a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?)
And he’s weak with evil and broken by the world (how much longer?)
And he’s shouting your name and asking for more (how much longer?) give more, give more,
There’s a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?) oh yeah

Loverman! since the world began
Forever, amen
’till the end of time
Take off that dress, ah, i’m coming down
I’m your loverman
Cause i am what i am, what i am, what i am

L is for love baby
O is for only you that i do
V is for loving virtually all that you are
E is for loving almost everything you do
R is for rape me
M is for murder me
A is for answering all of my prayers
N is for knowing your loverman’s going to be the answer to all of yours

Loverman! ’till the bitter end
While empire’s burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever amen
Loverman!
So help me, baby
So help me
’cause i am what i am, what i am
I’m your loverman!

There’s a devil crawling along your floor (how much longer?)
There’s a devil crawling along your floor (how much longer?)
With a trembling heart, he’s coming through your door (how much longer?)
With his straining sex in his jumping paw (how much longer?) oh yeah
And there’a a devil crawling along your floor (how much longer?)
And he’s old and he’s stupid and he’s hungry and he’s sore
And he’s blind and he’s lame and he’s dirty and he’s poor,
Give more, give more, give more, give more (how much longer?)
There’s a devil crawling along your floor (how much longer?)

Loverman! now here i stand
Forever, amen
Cause i am what i am, what i am, what i am
Forgive me, baby
My hands are tied
And i got no choice
No, i got no choice at all

I’ll say it again:

L is for love, baby
O is for oh yes i do
V is for virtue, so i ain’t gonna hurt you
E is for even if you want me to
R is for render unto me, baby
M is for that which is mine
A is for any old how, darling
N is for any old time

I’ll be your loverman! i got a masterplan
To take off your dress, and be your man
Oh, seize the throne,
Oh, seize the mantle,
Oh, seize the crown,
Cause i am what i am, what i am, what i am
Your loverman

There’s a devil lying by your side (how much longer?)
And you might think he’s asleep
But take a look at his eyes (how much longer?)
He wants you, baby, to be his bride (how much longer?)
There’s a devil lying by your side (how much longer?) oh yeah
