Loverman
(Metallica - Garage Inc. Disc 1)
(Originally recorded by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)
There`s a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
There`s a devil waiting outside your door
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 he`s asking for more
There`s a devil waiting outside your door
Loverman! Since the world began
Forever, Amen Till 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 what I am
L is for LOVE, baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY everything 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 empires burn down Forever and ever
and ever and ever Amen I`m your loverman
So help me, baby So help me
Cause I am what I am what I am what I am
I`ll be 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 lame and he`sblind
and he`s dirty and he`s poor
Give him more
There`s 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, I got 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
I`ll be your loverman! I got a masterplan
To take off your dress And be your man
Seize the throne Seize the mantle
Seize the crown Cause I am what I am
What I am what I am I`m your loverman!
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
Loverman! Loverman!
