Beats The Devil Lyrics - Singles - Walter Egan

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
