Mama said don't talk to snakes
But hell, they speak so sweet
Said don't dance with what tempts you
But baby, look at my feet

Everything I ever wore
Fit better than my Sunday dress
God forgives, but not for free
And I don't pay in less

The devil made me do it, but I liked it
Did it twice just to be sure I spiced it
You call it wrong, I call it right
I ain't changing, I'll abide

Your preacher don't dance, but I bet he dreams
I've seen that halo with the seams
You pray in silk, I pray in sweat
Guess whose God ain't called me yet

The devil made me do it, but I liked it
He said sin's a song, then I've piped it
You call it shame, I call it style
I've been burning for a while

He said: Baby, come on down
And I said: Show me what's divine
He said: Pleasure: He said: Ours
I said: Mine

The devil made me do it, but I liked it
Did it twice just to be sure I spiced it
You call it sin, I call it free
Ain't no heaven built for me

He said hallelujah, I liked it
He said hallelujah, I liked it
He said hallelujah, I liked it

I've been burning for a while

Your preacher don't dance, but I bet he dreams
I've seen that halo with the seams
You pray in silk, I pray in sweat
Guess whose God ain't called me yet

The devil made me do it, but I liked it
He said sin's a song, then I've piped it
You call it shame, I call it style
I've been burning for a while

He said: Baby, come on down
And I said: Show me what's divine
He said: Pleasure: He said: Ours
I said: Mine

The devil made me do it, but I liked it
Did it twice just to be sure I spiced it
You call it sin, I call it free
Ain't no heaven built for me

He said hallelujah, I liked it
He said hallelujah, I liked it
He said hallelujah, I liked it

I've been burning for a while

Your preacher don't dance, but I bet he dreams
I've seen that halo with the seams
You pray in silk, I pray in sweat
Guess whose God ain't called me yet

You call it shame, I call it style
