There's a devil waiting outside your door
(how much longer?)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
And it is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
There's a devil waiting outside your door
And he's weak with evil and broken by the world
And he's shouting your name and asking for more
There's a devil waiting outside your door
Loverman! since the world began
Forever, amen
Till end of time
Take off that dress
I'm coming down
I'm your loverman
Cause I am, what 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 that 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 the empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever ever, amen
I'm your loverman
So help me, baby
So help me, baby
Cause I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
I'm your loverman!
There's a devil crawling along your floor
There's a devil crawling along your floor
With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
There's a devil crawling along your floor
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
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more, gimme more, gimme more, gimme more
There's a devil crawling along your floor
Loverman! and here I stand
Forever, amen
Cause I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, hey
Forgive me, baby
My hands are tied
And I got no choice no no no no, I got no choice, no choice at all
I'll say it again
L is for LOVE, baby
O is for O 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
Loverman! I got a masterplan
To take off your dress
And be your man, be your man
Seize the throne
Seize the mantle
Seize the crown
Cause I am, what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
I'm your loverman!
There's a devil laying by your side
There's a devil laying by your side
You might think he's asleep
Take a look at his eyes
And he wants you, darling, to be his bride
Yeah, there's a devil laying by your side
Loverman! Loverman! Loverman!
I'll be your loverman
Till the end of time
Till the empires burn down
Forever, amen
I'll be your loverman
I'll be your loverman
I?m your loverman
I?m your loverman
Yeah i?m your loverman
I?m your loverman
Loverman
I?m your loverman
I?m your loverman
I?m your loverman
Yeah i?m your loverman
Yes i?m your loverman
Loverman
Loverman
Loverman
Forever, amen
Loverman
How much longer?
