Once I was a villain I behaved just like a cat But like a shot of penicillin She cured me of all that She's a healthy dose of heaven For a man that's hooked on sin Let the joy begin Better get used to it, baby If I was a begger I would beg ten million dimes I would have a million dollars For a minute of your time I would walk across the desert Eating dust and sand If that was your command Better get used to it, baby And if you never tell me You care just how I feel It's a dying man's last meal You better get used to it, baby Better get used to it, baby
