You were God's best creation

But I didn't know what I had

Till it was too late



When a man's getting older

Seems the young girls get bolder

And temptations are sometimes too great



You gave me all kinds of reasons to stay

But like the fool that I am, I still walked away



And it's a short walk

From Heaven to Hell

A few steps from an angel

That loved me so well



When I left I shook hands

With the Devil himself

And it's a short walk

From Heaven to Hell



She was young, I was foolish

But I needed that young thing

To tell me I could still turn her on



What I took for affection

Was just your reflection

And that's where the whole thing went wrong



'Cause when the loving was over and done

What I took for love, she took for fun



And it's a short walk

From Heaven to Hell

A few steps from an angel

That loved me so well



When I left, I shook hands

With the Devil himself

And it's a short walk

From Heaven to Hell



Yeah, it's a short walk

From Heaven to Hell
