I’ll be damned if I let you catch my secondhand
‘Cause I know, first-hand, that secondhand—it ain’t much better
See no evil, hear no evil; well what’s there left to see
‘Cause I know, first-hand, there ain’t much that’s much better
‘Cause, girl, you’ve got a strange soul
It always keeps me guessing, but, baby, it’s a blessing
Girl, you’ve got a strange soul
Whenever I’m not around, it’s nowhere to be found
Staring down the barrel in the Virgin Mary’s eyes
As she’s telling me I should be treating you much better
Hand to God, I ain’t addicted to the night
But, what I am, baby, trust me, it ain’t much better
‘Cause, girl, you’ve got a strange soul
It always keeps me guessing, but, baby, it’s a blessing
Girl, you’ve got a strange soul
Whenever I’m not around, it’s nowhere to be found
