Have you been rejected'
Have you been desired'
Have you been neglected'
Have you been set on fire'
I don't practice voodoo
I don't carry a gun
I don't want to do to you
What you don't want done

I'm nobody's angel
I'm not that good
I'm no red devil
In the wicked wood
I'm a dedicated minister
And a downright sinister man
I'm a whole lot better
And a whole lot worse
Than what you think I am

Have you been degraded'
Have you been well schooled'
Have you been indoctrinated'
Have you been called a fool'
I'm not trying to sell you
What you won't receive
I don't need to tell you
What I do or I don't believe

I'm nobody's angel
That ain't me
And what kinda devil
Do you think I be'
I'm a good samaritan
And a very, very bad man
I'm a whole lot better
And a whole lot worse
Than what you think I am
