Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's like a magic
I've got to have it
Whatever lies out of reach of me
And to despise it
Just magnifies it
Can't obliterate the need
[Verse 2]
You're bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
But I just can't see
When truth is concealed
How the danger appeals
But my conscience sees
[Verse 3]
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Leave that boy alone
He's no good for you"
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Heaven must have sent you
But the Devil's gonna get you
He's gonna do it for you"
[Verse 4]
You're like a black cat
Who always knows that
Its life is a mystery
You mesmerize me
And then you hypnotize me
Till obsession devours me
[Verse 5]
Your silky words soothe me
As they move me
To ecstasy
And just as I'm falling
I hear a voice calling
Don't believe
[Verse 6]
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Leave that boy alone
He's no good for you"
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Heaven must have sent you
But the devil's gonna get you
He's gonna do it for you"
[Verse 7]
You're bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
But I just can't see
When truth is concealed
How the danger appeals
But my conscience sees
[Verse 8]
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Leave that boy alone
He's no good for you"
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Heaven must have sent you
But the devil's gonna get you"
[Verse 9]
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Leave that boy alone
He's no good for you"
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Heaven must have sent you
But the devil's gonna get you"
[Verse 10]
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Leave that boy alone
He's no good for you"
I heard it from the preacher man
He said, "Heaven must have...
