Beats The Devil lyrics

by Chris James and Walter Egan



Damned if I will said Adam to Eve

What made you mess with that tree

Forbidden fruit from some snake in the grass

Just ain`t my cup of tea

Then Eve turned to Adam and she said with a smile

I`m gonna make you believe

There will be tears in Paradise

And they`ll be all about Eve



Damned if you do and damned if you don`t

It`s the original sin

How come the boy keeps chasing the girl

Until she catches him

Beats the devil out of me

Beats the devil out of me



What light from yonder window breaks said Romeo to Julliet

This family feud ain`t our mistake and I`ll love you truly yet

Two crazy kids back in old Italy they had to alter their plans

So Romi followed Julliet all the way to the promised land



Chorus



Now when it comes down to you and me we come from a long line of lovers

Who managed to make some history right there in between the covers

If you can`t always be my Queen and I ain`t always a King

Keep in mind this is not our fault it`s a chromosomal thing



Chorus
