Mama said woman’s gonna steal my soul.
That devil, she play the rock’n roll…….but I think I like it.
Woke up this morning my eyes were bloodshot red.
Went down to the river to wash these thoughts out of my head.
My life’s in shambles, my heart’s in disarray.
When all of a sudden my eyes caught sweet little Desiree.
Looks like trouble like no other.
Oh! That woman makes my head just spin.
Might be Delilah? Sweet young fire!
Oh! That woman has to be a sin.
How I’d give her everything, gonna love that woman.
Hear me sing “Sweet Desiree”, my little Desiree.
Oh, as I sing this song hear what I’ve got to say.
With one quick look in her eyes don’t care about no yesterday.
Oh, take a look at me I’m down upon my knees.
Do anything that you want, anything baby that you please!
Looks like trouble like no other.
Oh! That woman makes my head just spin.
Might be Delilah? Sweet young fire!
Oh! That woman has to be a sin.
Big brown eyes, how they hypnotize.
Gonna find me a way to make that woman all mine.
Oh, how I give her everything. Gonna love that woman.
Hear me sing for Desiree….my little Desiree.
Oh and if you want to steal her from me,
You’ll have to pry her from my cold dead hands.
