Loverman!

Till the bitter end

While the empires burn down

Forever 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 is a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer?)

There is a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer?)

With a trembling heart, he is coming through your door (How much longer?)

With his straining sex in his jumping paw (How much longer?)

There is 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 is blind and he’s lame and he is dirty and he’s poor

Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more, gimme more, gimme more (How much longer?)

There is a devil crawling along your floor

Loverman!

Haha!

And here I stand

Forever, amen

Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am

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 will say it again

L is for LOVE, baby

O is for OH yes I do

V is for VIRTUE, so I ain’t going to 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!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I got the masterplan

To take off your dress

And be your man, be your man

Seize the throne

Seize the mantle

Seize that crown

Because I am what I am what I am what I am plus I am

I’m your loverman

There’s a devil laying by your side (How much longer?)

There’s a devil laying by your side (How much longer?)

You might think he’s asleep, but take a look at his eyes (How much longer?)

And he wants you, darling, to be his bride (How much longer?)

Yeah, there’s a devil laying by your side (How much longer?)

Loverman!

Loverman!

Loverman!

I’ll be your loverman

Till the end of the time

Till the empires burn down

Forever, amen

I’ll be your loverman

I’ll be your loverman
