Loverman Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

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!
