I've seen the devil, Stared him straight in the eyes. Danced in his fire on my darkest nights. Laid in his garden an' I drank his wine. Slept with temptation to laugh at salvation: It almost saved me alive. Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill: Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I been down that road, I ain't goin' back again. I caused more damage than a hurricane. I broke your heart an' didn't feel a thing. (I walked.) Then walked away and cursed your name in vain. (Cursed your name.) But with you as my witness, You gave me forgiveness, Now I've got a second chance. Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill: Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I been down that road. He's knockin' at my door, Ain't walkin' round here no more. Been there, done that, Ain't goin' back again, no! Instrumental Break. I was the baddest mother that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Been there, done that, Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I been down that road. I ain't goin' back again, Oh, no! Been there, done that. I was the life of the party, yeah. (Been there, done that.) To fade.
