Tonight I feel so weak,
but all I love is fair
I turn the other cheek,
and I feel the slap and the sting
of a foul -eyed air
And I know you're only human,
and I haven't got talking room
But tonight while I'm making excuses,
some other woman is
making love to you
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive?
Can't you see my baby's
Got an idle lover
I don't know how I'm
gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out
of control?
Baby's got my heart
And my baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil
Sweet devil's got my soul
Will this aching pass?
Will this night be through?
I wanna hear the breaking glass
And I only feel the steel
of the red hot truth
And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity
of that temporary kind
Tell me how will I ever be the same
When I know that woman is
whispering your name
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive?
Can't you see my baby's
got another lover
And I don't know how I'm
gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control
Baby's got my heart
And my baby's got my mind
And tonight the sweet devil
Sweet devil's got my soul
Oh, yeah
The devil's got in my soul
Hey, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Hey
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see I'm burning alive
Can't you see my baby's
got another lover
And I don't know how I'm
gonna survive
Somebody bring me some water
Can't you see it's out of control
My baby's got my heart
And my baby's got my mind
But tonight the sweet devil
Sweet devil's got my soul
Baby's got my heart,
and my baby's got my mind
And to night the sweet devil,
sweet devil's got my soul
