Lately I don't know where I went wrong,
But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong,
Between her fine perfume and angel face,
My whole world became another place
The dark side of her intelligence was so strong,
Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong
Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door
I could not wait to hear the siren song,
The beginning of the end of my happy home
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see
Heard them say the payback's double-fold,
Just can't seem to remember who I bought and sold
I'll probably still be here when you come around next year,
Trying to climb from this deep dark hole
I'll be damned if I just don't feel I'm growin' old
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see
Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox,
Set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop
If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul,
Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see
