Let Love In

There's a devil waiting outside your door 
(How much longer?) 
There's a devil waiting outside your door 
(How much longer?) 
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor 
(How much longer?) 
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls 
(How much longer?) 


He's weak with evil and broken by the world 
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
give him more ...
There's a devil waiting outside your door 


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 
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 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 
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 coming through your door 
With his straining sex in his jumping paw 
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...
There's a devil crawling along your floor 


Loverman! Here I stand Forever, Amen 
Cause 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, baby 
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 
A is for ANY old how, darling 
N is for ANY old time 


I'll be your loverman! I got a masterplan 
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 I'm 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 


Loverman! Loverman!
