Album: Man's Trap (1984)

Man's Trap

I have misunderstood
Double dealing done no good
Have mercy baby, I have paid
Get me out of there today
Came in on a shadow from the East
Nobody could name the beast
A feeling I've never known
I wonder if I'll make if home
Shakin' down to my feet
Burning in a sea of heat
Drowning in a deep delight
She's a bitch of a witch in the night

Yesterday my scene was looking bad
Cheap seduction all I'd had
Me playing hookey, gettin' laid
Get me out of there today, right away

Good at goin' down to play
Naked as a new born babe
Showin' me the right and wrong
Good to be bad for too long
Devil take me if he must
See the ashes turn to dust
Drowning in a deep delight
She's a bitch of witch in the night

The devil takes me if he must
I see ashes turn to dust
Her silent innocence was cool
She played for real I played the fool
Reputations come and go
This revelation let me know
It's much too much for goodness sake
Can I get out of here today

Came in on a shadow from the East
Nobody could name the beast
Feelings I've never known
I wonder if I'll make if home
Shakin' down to my feet
Burning in a sea of heat
Born in a good side of town
And double so good going down
