Martin L. Gore Loverman Lyrics

There's a devil waiting outside your door
There's a devil waiting outside your door
And he's 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
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
Well give him more, give him more
There's a devil waiting outside your door, oh yeah

Lover man, since the world began
Forever, Amen, until end of time
Take off that dress, I'm coming down
I'm your lover man
'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 and
M is for murder me
A is for answering all of my prayers
N is for knowing your lover man's gonna be the answer to your tear

Lover man, till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever and ever, Amen, lover man
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 lover man

There's a devil crawling along your floor
There's a devil crawling along your floor
With a trembling heart he's coming through the door
With his straining sex in his jumping paw, oh yeah

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 lame and he's blind and he's dirty and he's poor
Give him more, give him more, give him more, give him more
Give him more, give him more, give him more
There's a devil crawling along your floor

Lover man, well here I stand
Forever, Amen
'Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am
Forgive me, baby my hands are bound
And I got no choice, no, I got no choice at all

I'll say it again
L is for love
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

I'll be your lover man, I got a master plan
To take off your dress and be your man
Well 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 lover man

There's a devil lying by your side
You might think he's asleep
But look at his eyes
He wants you, baby, to be his bride
There's a devil lying by your side

I'll be your lover man
Your lover man, till the bitter end
'Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am
Your lover man, your lover man
'Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
Your lover man
