Lyrics

There's a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?) There's a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?) And it is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor (how much longer?) And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls, oh yeah (how much longer?) And there's a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?) He's weak with evil and broken by the world (how much longer?) And he's shouting your name and he's asking for more (how much longer?) Give him more, give him more There's a devil waiting outside your door (how much longer?) Oh, yeah Loverman, since the world began Forever, Amen, until the 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 L is for love, baby O is for only you that I do And V is for loving virtually all that you are E is for loving almost everything you do R is for rape me and M is for murder me And A is for answering all of my prayers N is for knowing your loverman's going to Be the answer to all of yours, yeah Loverman, 'til the bitter end While empires burn down, forever and ever and ever and ever Loverman, so help me, baby So help me 'cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am I'll be 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 the door (how much longer?) With his straining sex in his jumping paw, oh yeah (how much longer?) And there's 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 lame and he's blind and he's dirty and he's poor (how much longer?) Give him more, give him more, give him more, give him more Give him more, give him more, give him more, give him more (how much longer?) There's a devil crawling along your floor (how much longer?) Oh, yeah Loverman now, now here I stand Forever, Amen, 'cause I am what I am what I am what I am Forgive me, baby, my hands are down And I got no choice no, I got no choice at all I'll say it again that L is for love And 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 And A is for any old how, darling And N is for any old time (that's now!) I'll be your loverman, I got a master plan To take off your dress and be your man To seize the throne, seize the mantle Seize the crown 'cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am Your loverman There's a devil lying by your side (how much longer?) You might think he's asleep but 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 Oh, your loverman For he's a loverman Do you comprehend 'Cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am what I am what I am what I am A real loverman, a real loverman, a real loverman A loverman, loverman A loverman, loverman A loverman, loverman 'Cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am
