[Verse 1]
Ol' Nicky will get you if he can
Yes Ol' Nicky will get you if he can
Grab you by your arm
When he sees you cannot stand
Ol' Nicky gonna get you if he can
[Verse 2]
Nicky will tell you he's your friend
Yes ol' Nicky will you tell you he's your friend
He'll tie you up in knots
And make fast your bitter end
Ol' Nicky gonna tell you he's your friend
[Chorus]
Say you'll be my sinner
You'll be my saint
I love you for what you are
I love you for what you ain't
[Verse 3]
Don't you ever give Nick the time of day
Don't you ever give Nick the time of day
He'd make his home in your house where love don't stay
Don't you ever give ol' Nick the time of day
[Chorus]
Say you'll be my sinner
You'll be my saint
I love you for what you are
I love you for what you ain't
Don't you ever listen to what Nick say
Don't you ever listen to what Nick say
Be the last to notice when your heart has gone away
Don't you ever listen to what ol' Nick say
[Chorus]
You'll be my sinner
You'll be my saint
I love you for what you are
I love you for what you ain't
