lyrics

When I passed you in the doorway, yeah, you could have been anyone
but I had a feeling you were different somehow
though you looked and smiled as you squeezed right past me, and on into the night
I felt right from that moment I was gonna be alright

With you, and so I sold my soul tonight
for you, I have swallowed all my pride
and if hell it comes to take me, it can fetch me in the morning
because for now everything I have is yours

Don't be mad it's my decision, please don't start to cry
just to get you I have made this perfect sacrifice
and through years of fire and brimstone I will remember only this night
and I'll say it was all worth just to catch one sight

Of you, and so I sold my soul tonight
for you, I have swallowed all my pride
and if hell it comes to take me, it can fetch me in the morning
because for now everything I have is yours

May I burn in hell for my sins
but I'll be oh so happy within
because a million years of torture, it's not even a drop into the water
for you I'll take it all on the chin

When I passed you in the doorway, yeah, you could have been anyone
But I had a feeling you were different somehow
though you looked and smiled as you squeezed right past me, and on into the night
I felt right from that moment I could have been alright

With you, and so I sold my soul tonight
for you, I have swallowed all my pride
and if hell it comes to take me, it can fetch me in the morning
because for now everything I have is yours
