I was the first man in Eden...back in the Garden had a great little place

It was just me and the Lord and we never got bored...we invented the whole human race

Then we went for a walk in the evening...he said, "I can't help but notice you're blue"

So the next thing he said was, "let me borrow a rib and we'll just see what a woman might do"



Well, I slept through the whole operation ...awoke to find Eve at my side



And God said, "you can have everything in the garden

You can name everything that you see

But just remember one thing what the Devil may bring

And stay away from the fruit of that tree"



Well the first couple weeks was a pleasure... just enough for my new baby and me

We were never apart; we were lovers at heart....never came even close to that tree

'Til I left her alone unattended and she returned from her first shopping spree

it was a sweet little find that I shoulda declined when she handed that mango to me



Now were blaming everything on the Devil, but I remember what God said to me..



he said, "you can have everything in the garden

You can name everything that you see

Just remember one thing what the Devil may bring

And stay away from the fruit of that tree"



Back when the Earth was still all milk and honey

Couldn't get it right with only one rule to follow

Guess I need a lot of help from God Almighty

If I want to get back to that Garden tomorrow



Cause you can have everything in the garden

You can name everything that you see

Just remember one thing what the Devil may bring

And stay away from the fruit of that tree

Oh stay away from the fruit of that tree

Stay away from the fruit of that tree



Stay away, stay away from the fruit of that tree

Stay away
