Lately I don't know where I went wrong,
|
But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong,
|
Between her fine perfume and angel face,
|
My whole world became another place.
|
The dark side of her intelligence was so strong,
|
Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong.
|
Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door.
|
I could not wait to hear the siren song,
|
The beginning of the end of my happy home.
|
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo,
|
too blind in love, too blind to see.
|
Heard them say the payback's double-fold,
|
Just can't seem to remember who I bought and sold.
|
I'll probably still be here when you come around next year,
|
Trying to climb from this deep dark hole.
|
I'll be damned if I just don't feel I'm growin' old.
|
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
|
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
|
Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox,
|
set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop.
|
If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul,
|
Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door.
|
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
|
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
