I've seen the devil,
|
Stared him straight in the eyes.
|
Danced in his fire on my darkest nights.
|
Laid in his garden an' I drank his wine.
|
Slept with temptation till I found salvation:
|
It almost ate me alive.
|
|
Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill:
|
Ain't goin' back again.
|
I was the life of every party,
|
It nearly did me in.
|
I was the baddest man you've ever seen,
|
Lord, I wrote the book on sin.
|
Yeah, I been down that road,
|
I ain't goin' back again.
|
|
I caused more damage than a hurricane.
|
I broke your heart an' didn't feel a thing. (I walked.)
|
Then walked away and cursed your name in vain. (Cursed your name.)
|
But with you as my witness,
|
You gave me forgiveness,
|
Now I've got a second chance.
|
|
Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill:
|
Ain't goin' back again.
|
I was the life of every party,
|
It nearly did me in.
|
I was the baddest man that you've ever seen,
|
Lord, I wrote the book on sin.
|
Yeah, I been down that road.
|
|
He's knockin' at my door,
|
Ain't walkin' round here no more.
|
Been there, done that,
|
Ain't goin' back again, no!
|
|
Instrumental Break.
|
|
I was the baddest mother that you've ever seen,
|
Lord, I wrote the book on sin.
|
Been there, done that,
|
Ain't goin' back again.
|
|
I was the life of every party,
|
It nearly did me in.
|
I was the baddest man that you've ever seen,
|
Lord, I wrote the book on sin.
|
Yeah, I been down that road.
|
I ain't goin' back again,
|
Oh, no!
|
|
Been there, done that.
|
I was the life of the party, yeah.
|
(Been there, done that.)
