Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I knew that it was wrong
I didn't have a doubt
I was dying to get back home
And you were starting out
[Verse 2]
I said I best be moving on
You said we have all day
You smile at me like I was young
It took my breath away
[Verse 3]
Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets all in view
My lost, my lost was saying found
My don't was saying do
[Verse 4]
Let's keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the Devil
Turned my back
On the angel, too
[Verse 5]
They ought to give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the Devil
Turned my back
On the angel, too
[Verse 6]
Now, I'm living in this temple
Where they tell you what to do
I'm old, and I've had to settle
On a different point of view
[Verse 7]
I was fighting with temptation
But, I didn't want to win
A man like me don't like to see
Temptation caving in
[Verse 8]
Your crazy fragrance all around
Your secrets in my view
My lost, my lost was saying found
My don't was saying do
[Verse 9]
Let's keep it on the level
When I walked away from you
I turned my back on the Devil
Turned my back
On the angel, too
[Verse 10]
They ought to give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the Devil
Turned my back
On the angel, too
[Verse 11]
They ought to give my heart a medal
For letting go of you
When I turned my back on the Devil
Turned my back
On the angel, too
