Preacher Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know I'm dirty because it's in me
Life's not easy
And it's the heart that I won't change
I wouldn't be the same
You see me one day and then the next day
I don't wanna play
I'm not the same dog you have known
It's not written in stone
Well am I right or wrong
Lookin' out for number one
I never stay too long
I'm there and then I'm gone
I'm not the preacher man
Oh can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I've got and evil eye
You know sometimes I might lie
Oh, I'm not the preacher man
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Saint was a sinner
Ain't he a winner?
And did you hear him say
I didn't lie just as well
It's all in the head
Oh, ain't it funny
How little money
Cheap talkin' honey
Can turn a sunny day to gray
Well, we all got to pay
Oh, am I right or wrong
Lookin' out for number one
I never stay too long
I'm there and then I'm gone
I'm not the preacher man
Oh, can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I've got an evil eye
You know, sometimes I might lie
Oh, I'm not the preacher man
I'm not the preacher man
Oh, can you understand
It's a game of win or lose
I got an evil eye
You know sometimes I might lie
Oh, I'm not the preacher man
I'm not the preacher man (2x)
I got an evil eye
You know sometimes I might lie
Oh, I'm not the preacher man
(3x)
I'm not the preacher man
