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
