[Verse 1] I knew that it was wrong I didn't have a doubt I was dying to get back home And you were starting out I said I best be moving on You said we have all day You smiled at me like I was young It took my breath away [Pre-Chorus] Your crazy fragrance all around Your secrets all in view My lost, my lost was saying found My don't was saying do [Chorus] Let's keep it on the level When I walked away from you I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel, too They oughta give my heart a medal For letting go of you (For letting go of you) When I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel, too [Verse 2] Now I'm living in this temple Where they tell you what to do I'm old and I've had to settle On a different point of view I was fighting with temptation But I didn't want to win A man like me don't like to see Temptation caving in [Pre-Chorus] Your crazy fragrance all around Your secrets in my view My lost, my lost was saying found My don't was saying do [Chorus] Let's keep it on the level When I walked away from you I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel, too They oughta give my heart a medal For letting go of you When I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel, too They oughta give my heart a medal For letting go of you When I turned my back on the devil Turned my back on the angel, too
