Tonight I feel so weakÂ
But all in love is fairÂ
I turn the other cheekÂ
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night airÂ
And I know you're only humanÂ
And I haven't got talking roomÂ
But tonight while I'm making excusesÂ
Some other woman is making love to youÂ
(chorus)Â
Somebody bring me some waterÂ
Can't you see I'm burning aliveÂ
Can't you my baby's got another loverÂ
I don't know how I'm gonna surviveÂ
Somebody bring me some waterÂ
Can't you see it's out of controlÂ
Baby's got my heart and my baby's got my mindÂ
But tonight the sweet Devil, sweet Devil's got my soulÂ
When will this aching passÂ
When will this night be throughÂ
I want to hear the breaking glassÂ
I only feel the steel of the red hot truthÂ
And I'd do anything to get it out of my mindÂ
I need some insanity that temporary kindÂ
Tell me how will I ever be the sameÂ
When I know that woman is whispering your nameÂ
(chorus)Â
Oh, Devil's got my soulÂ
(chorus)
