Lyrics

Theres a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer?)
Theres a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer?)
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor (How much longer?)
And hes howling with pain and crawling up the walls (How much longer?)
Theres a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer?)
And hes weak with evil and broken by the world (How much longer?)
Hes shouting your name and asking for more (How much longer?)
Theres a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer?)
Loverman
Since the world began
Forever, Amen
Till end of time
Take off that dress
Im coming down
Im 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 lovermans going to
Be the answer to all of yours
Loverman
Till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever ever Amen
Im your loverman
So help me, baby
So help me
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am
Im your loverman
Theres a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer?)
Theres a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer?)
With a trembling heart, hes coming through your door (How much longer?)
With his straining sex in his jumping paw (How much longer?)
Theres a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer?)
And hes old and hes stupid and hes hungry and hes sore
And hes blind and hes lame and hes dirty and hes poor
Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more (How much longer?)
Theres a devil crawling along your floor
Loverman
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 no no no
I got no choice, no choice at all
Ill say it again
L is for love, baby
O is for O yes I do
V is for virtue, so I aingt 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 the masterplan
To take off your dress
And be your man
Seize the throne ,Seize the mantle,Seize that crown
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am yes I am
Ill be your loverman
Theres a devil laying by your side (How much longer?)
Theres a devil laying by your side (How much longer?)
You might think hes asleep but take a look at his eyes (How much longer?)
And he wants you, darling, to be his bride (How much longer?)
Theres a devil lying by your side (How much longer?)
Loverman,Loverman,Loverman
Ill be your loverman
Till the end of time
Till the empires burn down
Forever Amen
Ill be your loverman,Ill be your loverman
Im your loverman,Im your loverman
Im your loverman,Im your loverman
Loverman
Im your loverman,Im your loverman
Im your loverman,Im your loverman
Yes, Im your loverman
Loverman,Loverman
Forever Amen,Loverman
Loverman (How much longer?)
