Loverman
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

There's a devil waiting outside your door

(How much longer?)

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, oh yeah

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, give him more, give him more

There's a devil waiting outside your door, oh yeah

Loverman! Since the world began

Forever, amen till 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

V is for loving virtually all that you are

E is for loving almost everything that 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

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, 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 come through the door

With his strain and sex and 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

There's a devil crawling along your floor, oh yeah

Loverman! Now 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 I got no choice at all

I'll say it again

L is for love and

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 and

A is for any old how, darling and

N is for any old time

I'll be your loverman! I got a master plan

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, what I am

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, oh yeah

Oh he's a loverman!

Oh he's a loverman!

Can you comphrend

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

'Cause he's a loverman!

A real loverman!

A real loverman!
