Hell Ain't Hot Enough Songtext
von The Meteors

Wake up little darling, we gotta hit the road
I′d tell you all about it but now we gotta go
Don't sleep no more, we really gotta run
Well, we gotta put some distance down between the setting sun
Well, you know that I love you
But I signed my name on the dotted
Line, I gotta give the devil his due

I made it there at midnight, just like the stories say
I′ll give you all the things you want but he said I've gotta pay
Twenty years from now, my boy, I'm coming back to get
Son, this is my business and I′ve never failed yet
Sweetheart, you know that I love you
But just to get all your love I had to give the devil his due


Well, I got everything I wanted and a hundred times more
And I thought that I could cheat him and I thought I knew the score
But now I hear him calling and he′s looking for his pay
There ain't no use in trying to fight it, he′s taking me away

Deep clouds coming, hear the lightning crack
Hope Nicky's keeping real good time, hope he hit the mark
Don′t worry, little baby, honey, I've got a plan
Nearly every minute I′ve been waiting for today
Always darling, I love you
But I'm stoking up the fires of hell and I give the devil his due

Well, I got everything I wanted and a hundred times more
And I thought that I could cheat him and I thought I knew the score
But now I hear him calling and he's looking for his pay
There ain′t no use in trying to fight it, he′s taking me away


When you hear the wind howl, listen for my voice
I never would have left you but he never gave a choice
He kept his promise and I'd do it all again
Just one day to be with you I′d suffer all this pain
Well, you know that I love you
And I'm stoking up the fires of hell ′cause I give the devil his due
I gotta give the devil his due
