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 shands 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 shands With the Devil himself And it's a short walk From Heaven to Hell Yeah, it's a short walk From Heaven to Hell
