[Verse 1]
There's a devil waiting outside your door
There's a devil waiting outside your door
He's bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
There's a devil waiting outside your door
And 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
[Chorus 1]
Loverman!
Since the world began
Forever, Amen
Till thе end of time
Take off that drеss
I'm coming down
I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am
[Bridge 1]
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
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 yours
[Chorus 2]
Loverman!
Till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever and ever, Amen
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!
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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, give him more
There's a devil crawling along your floor
Oh yeah
[Chorus 3]
Loverman!
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
[Bridge 2]
I'll say it again
L is for LOVE
O is for OH, 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
[Chorus 4]
I'll be your loverman!
I got a masterplan
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
Your Loverman!
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus 5]
Loverman!
Loverman!
Till the bitter end
Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am
Your loverman!
Your loverman!
Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am, what I am
Your loverman!
