On The Level Songtext / Lyric

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'd best be moving on

You said we have all day

You smiled at me like I was young

It took my breath away

Your crazy fragrance all around

Your secrets all in view

My lost, my lost was saying found

My don't was saying do






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



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



Your crazy fragrance all around

Your secrets in my view

My lost, my lost was saying found

My don't was saying do



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
