Lyrics
Wicked Wicked Life
She?s dark like a Spanish question mark
Upside down in a summer evening gown
She?s young something illegal on her tongue
She?s so smart makes making men stupid an art
She seduced my heart reduced my mind
Left my conscience and my clothes behind
So help me I can?t help it
It?s a wicked wicked life
I intend to live it
Now after I hear her unchanged laughter
All alone echoes of an unanswered phone
How is it I could be so complicit
It?s plain as day I was never led astray
I seduced her with wine that went to my head
Her hand and mine we walked to the bed
So help me I can?t help it
It?s a wicked wicked life
I intend to live it
Wicked wicked life
Wicked wicked life
You better believe it?s a wicked life
You don?t think so you?re living a lie
Everyone?s a sinner If you?re not then you?re just a beginner
We?re all just waiting round to die get your pleasure while there?s time
I got mine I got mine
I seduced her with wine that went to my head
Killed that true love of mine right dead
So help me I can?t help it
It?s a wicked wicked life
