I recall once upon a time
Living was so easy and I felt so fine
But my, my, my, right before my very eyes
Satan came and fired upon me
Would I listen when they warned me?
Dagger in my back while he's calling me honey
Would I stand back, if you don't love me, buddy?
ย
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
He put up a sign and my house began to wail
My, my, my, could I see it in my sweet man's eyes
He had such a way to fool me
Lord, he had such a way to fool me
And I would ask the man, "Can you find an angel, son?"
But he'd say, "Stand back, you ain't gonna rule me"
ย
Just when all began to fade
I reached out and drew the ace of spades
And put him on a train to the everglades
ย
Now that his hungover is gone
Somehow I just don't feel so all alone
But my, my, my, it seems I took a waste of time
He never seemed to know me
And now it's much too late to show me
And if I ever see that man walking down the street
I'll just stand back and try to move away slowly
Lord, move away
Yeah, slowly
Gonna step away
ย
Step back
Step back
Step back
Step back
Oh, step back, darling
