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!
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…)
