I was a happy man, until I saw your face
I hid my need away in some dark secret place
All that power of sex, I kept down and I never let go
I had only one design the truth of God and man to know

Oh, I´m a priest and I love this girl
I love with a love that destroys my world

Against the wind and the tide I could stand any shock
Straight and proud like Notre-Dame upon her rock
Then you´ve stolen my heart and awakened desire
I dream I´m inside you and I wake up on fire

Oh, I´m a priest and I love this girl
I love with a love that destroys my world

I let no woman near, I suffered for God´s care
In the heart of the night I saw the lightning flare
I looked out from my room, distracted from my prayer
The day had just begun, and you were standing there

Oh I´m a priest and I love this girl
I love, yes I love! With a love that destroys my world
Oh I´m a priest and I love this girl

Heal me with your touch or hurt me once again
Make me suffer for my sin
Just lead me on to Hell, and I´ll deny my Christ
For Hell, with you, is Paradise

Oh I´m a priest and I love this girl
I love, yes I love! With a love that destroys my world
Oh I´m a priest and I love this girl
This girl
