Loverman Songtext
von Martin L. Gore

There′s a devil waitin' outside your door
There′s a devil waitin' outside your door
And he's a bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
And he′s a howling with pain and crawling up the walls, oh yeah
There′s a devil waitin' outside your door
He′s a 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 waitin′ outside your door, oh yeah

Loverman
Since the world began
Forever, amen
Till the end of time
Take off that dress
I'm comin' down
I′m your loverman
′Cause I am what I am, what I am, what I am


L is for love, baby, and
O is for only you that I do
V is for loving virtually all that you are, and
E is for loving almost everything you do
R is for rape me, and
M is for murder me
A is for answering all of my prayers
N is for knowing your loverman's gonna be the answer to all yours

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


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
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

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

I'll say it again
L is for love, and
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

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

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

I'll be your loverman
Your 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
