[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see

[Verse 2
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 growing old

[Chorus]
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea
Too blind in love, too blind to see
