Name: Beat the devil out of me
Duration: P00H03M46S
Description: 'Beat the devil out of me' is a cheeky call by the writer to his girl to rid him of his evil by 'beating the devil' out of him. 'With your sweet woman hands' he begs, 'beat the devil out of me'. This is a lyric Frankie Williams says is 'ambiguous'. On the one hand it is dark and yet the lyric, in the fine British tradition of double entendre, is naughty and humourous.

lyrics

I woke up this morning,
I got the devil haunting me
Woke up this morning,
I got the devil haunting me
asked my girl have mercy,
I need your healing can’t you see
So come on, beat the devil out of me
come on baby, beat the devil out of me
with your sweet woman hand, beat the
devil out of me.
I woke up with it girl, eating away at me
I woke up with it, eating away at me
I just can’t conentrate and only you can
set me free

Chorus

Don’t tell me I’m crazy,
I know I’m dog lazy
Don’t tell me I’m crazy,
I know I’m lazy can’t you see
Can’t beat this devil baby.
It’s got the better of me.

So come on,
come and lie down with me
Come on girl,
come and lie down with me
I need your touch little girl
Baby can’t you see

Chorus
