Walk on the Wild Side Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Oooh
Sinner, won′t you hear what I'm sayin′
I said sinner, you've been swingin', not prayin′
One day of prayin′ and six nights of having fun
The odds against goin' to heaven′s six-to-one

You, you walk on the wild side, and the Devil is waitin'
He′s waitin' to take your hand


You walk on the wild side, and you′re walkin' with Satan
A long way from the Promised Land
Yeah, one day of prayin' and six nights having fun, baby, no good
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one

You better cross over, you better walk humble or baby you′re gonna stumble
And I know Satan is gonna take your hand

You walk on the wild side, just to walk on the wild side
Away from the Promised, Promised Land, whoa
One day of prayin′ and six nights of having fun baby, that's no good
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one
