Heart breaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they've been saying must be true

Red-hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues

Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Talkin' jivey, poison ivy
You ain't gonna cling to me
Man taker, born faker
I ain't so blind I can't see

Red-hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues

Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a
A son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch

Since you came into my life
It's the same old situation
Empty days and lonely nights
Filled with bitterness and frustration.

Walking lonely in the cold
Trying to find the answer
Spend my money on a crystal ball
And the charms of a gypsy dancer
Trying to break the spell you hold on me.

Chorus:
You're miss misery
That song you lay on me
Set me free, set me free
Please, please, please.

Every day is filled with shame
My nights are filled with anger
Hollow lies, forced denial
If you told the truth I can't remember.

You know, I've got to find my way
Got to find a reason
Got to find your weakness
So I can end your witchin' season
Got to break this spell you hold on me.

Chorus:

Lead

Can't think how I got myself
Caught up in this nightmare
Evil schemes, midnight screams
Come on somebody listen to my prayer.

I'd give all I've got to give
Just to find my way out
Got it goin' but I can't let go
I'm trapped on this crazy roundabout
Tryin' to break this spell you hold on me.

Chorus:

. . .


Yes, baby, I've been drinkin'
Shouldn't come by anymore
But I found myself in trouble, darlin'
And I have no place else to go.

I got some whiskey from a bottle
Got some cocaine from a friend
And I had to keep on movin', darlin'
Till I was back in your arms again.

And I'm guilty, I am guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life.

How come I'm never gonna do
What I'm supposed to do
Seems like everything I do
Never turns out right.

That's how it is with me, darlin'
You know I just can't stand myself
But it takes a whole lot of medicine, darlin'
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else.

. . .


When I was younger, I used to understand
That when you're with a girl, you gotta act like a man
Mama told me that's the way it should be
And I know my mama never lied to me.

What do you think about you're changin' times
'Cause when I'm with you, I just can't make up my mind
Since I met you, don't know right from wrong
Somebody tell me just what's goin' on.

Just can't get myself thinkin' straight
I'm all shook up and in a terrible state
Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out.

Someday, baby, I'm going to have to make a stand
The way that you treat me, baby
Don't make me feel too much like a man
And baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
You're drivin' me half-crazy
Can't make up my mind what to do about you.

Tellin' myself that time is on my side
You're gettin' this feelin' that my mind's on the slide
Dumped on the floor, I feel I'm trapped in a spin
Don't know how to end, can't think of where to begin.

She don't care, I know she don't even try
But when she turns it on
You know, she gets me so high.

She's a lady that's making my life a sin
You know that I'm runnin' in a losin' race
There ain't no way I can win
Baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
They're drivin' me half crazy
Can't make up my mind what to do about you.

. . .


If this is heaven, then I'm in hell
If trust is misfortune, then wish me well.

While I think of sadness, baby
Your light shines through, your light shines through
Your light shines through

Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day.

I've lost control of my darker side
A world all for free, on a nastier ride.

And I have crossed myself in anger
All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me

Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day.

Lead

It's beggar's day
You know, it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day.

See this love I've stored for you
Wheel it and deal it, but our feeling's are true.

And I have crossed myself in anger
All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me

Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
It's beggar's day.

Because it's beggar's day
It's beggar's day
It's beggar's day.

Close up the bar
You know the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night
And she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman
She's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now
And it sure is gettin' bad.

That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me.

She's got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
She's three parts out of her head
Don't know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seein' her juiced up every night.

That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me.

Lead

Got to solve this problem
Won't you help me find the key
The way that things are going
I'll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin'
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don't know how much I can stand

Whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me.

Got to get myself together
Start workin' something out
Maybe if I tried some booze
I'd know what it's about
I love that woman
She's the best one that I had
She's got this problem now
It sure is gettin' bad.

Whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me.

Lead

Please don't Judas me
Treat me, as you'd like to be treated
Please don't blacklist me
Leave me, as you'd wish to find me
Don't analyse me
Sacrifice me
Please don't Judas me.

Please don't chastise me
Show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see
Guide me in my eyes of blindness
Don't despise me
Categorise me
Please don't Judas me.

No, no, don't Judas me
No, please don't Judas me.

Please don't headshrink me
Don't disguise your innuendos
Give no lies to me
I can see the way the wind blows
Don't debase me
Annihilate me
Please don't Judas me.

Please don't number me
Don't betray my trust and promise
Please don't anger me
I find it hard to bear no malice
Don't frustrate me
Manipulate me
Please don't Judas me.

No, no, don't Judas me
No, please don't Judas me.

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts

I'm young, I know
But even so
I know a thing or two
I learned from you
I really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts

I know it isn't true
I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Ooh-ooh

Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned
One more mistake to my cause
One more hand got lost
In a game.

So I was up for awhile
Livin' in style
Feelin' high on the hog
And people just don't wanna know
I was down.

Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I don't know... don't care at all.

I had a similar dream
All of my dreams
I can't get through for a while
I thought I had wandered a mile
I was wrong

Now I'm on the way up
When you reach the top
It's no way, no way to go
And people just don't wanna know
When you're down

Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I don't know... don't care at all.

Holy Roller, lookin' down
Where you think you know
All the answers
Arrogance and pride are sin
Better look to your own chances.

Chorus:
Holy Roller, can you save your own soul?
Can you save your own soul
Holy Roller

Standin' up for Jesus
That's your thing
But you're standin' on people's hearts
Charity is a virtue
To be praised
Better get back on Jesus' track.

Chorus

Holy Roller, practise what you preach
Heaven is still within your reach.

Holy Roller, don't you judge
What you think is going wrong.

Chorus (2x)

. . .


Hear the whistle blowin' so long
Tellin' me I gotta move along
Coast-to-coast gonna steal highway
Railroad boy up in the guiding daybreak.

Get no sleep in a boxcar
Get no piece of line
They catch you jumpin' a freight train
They give you such a hard time.

Movin' fast as my time runs out
Coal is something I can live without
Railroad fever got me a route
Like tumbleweed, I ain't got no roots.

You know, no peace in a boxcar
Just can't sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin' a freight train
They give you such a hard time.

Lead

East coast towns they are
Dark and cold
West coast ladies
They get right to my soul.

But you know
Can't stand long
Bet all railroader's
Are singin' my song.
