Beats the Devil - Walter Egan

Well, «Damned if I will» said Adam to Eve

For making a mess with a 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»

Well there will be tears in paradise

And they’ll be all about Eve

Woo…

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

It’s the original sin

How come a boy keeps chasing a girl

Until she catches him?

Beats the devil out of me!

Beats the devil out of me!

«Oh light from yonder window breaks»

Said Romeo to Juliet

«This family feud ain’t our mistake

And I love you truly, yeah»

Well two crazy kids back in old Italy

They had to alter their plans

So Romeo followed Juliet

All the way to the promised lands

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

It’s the original sin

How come a boy keeps chasing a girl

Until she catches him?

Beats the devil out of me!

Beats the devil out of me!

Well, beats the devil out of me

Well, beats the devil out of me

Oh…

So when it comes down to you and me

We come from a long line of lovers

Who’ve managed to make some history

Right there between the covers

And you can always be my queen

And I am always a king

Keep in mind that it’s not our fault

It’s a chromosomal thing

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

Well, it’s the original sin

How come the boy keeps chasing that girl

Until she catches him?

Beats the devil out of me!

Beats the devil out of me!

Well beats the devil out of me

Well beats the devil out of me
