Lyrics

C.O.D.

[Verse 1]

Call of a dog, cry of a bitch

The cream of a dream is the cause of the itch

Call on the doctor, cash on demand

If I get enough rope, might even hang

[Chorus]

C.O.D., care of the devil

C.O.D., the devil in me

C.O.D., care of the devil

Care of the devil in me, yeah

[Verse 2]

The curse of love is the cause of the pain

The crime of the day is when you do it again

Call on the doctor, cash on demand

If you give them a finger, they'll take off your hand

[Chorus]

C.O.D., care of the devil

C.O.D., the devil in me

C.O.D., care of the devil

Care of the devil in me

Down to the devil with me

[Guitar Solo]

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

[Bridge]

Woah, yeah, yeah

Ooh yeah, hahaha

The call of the dog, cry of a bitch

The sign of a sinner's the size of his itch

[Chorus]

C.O.D., care of the devil

C.O.D., the devil in me

C.O.D., care of the devil

C.O.D., oh

C.O.D., care of the devil

C.O.D., the devil in me

C.O.D., care of the devil

C.O.D., oh, care of the devil in me

[Outro]

I'm payin', payin'

I'm paying C.O.D. 

Care of the devil, yeah

Care of the devil in me, oh

It's the curse of love
