I don’t believe in your kind of affection
You’re takin’ me in the wrong direction
Don’t give me none of that holy water
Comin’ on like you’re the Devil’s Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yeah!
C’mon!

How do you find the time to exist
I’ve got to keep my strength of mind to resist
Don’t give me none of that holy water
Comin’ on like you’re the Devil’s Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yeah
C’mon now, c’mon now, c’mon now and take me there

Oh yeah!
Where do you come from and where do you go
Can I touch without havin’ to know
Well don’t give me none of that holy water
Comin’ on like you’re the Devil’s Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
C’mon take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader
