  • Call of a dog, cry of a bitch
    The cream of a dream is the cause of the itch
    Call on the doctor, cash on demand
    If I get enough rope, might even hang

    C.O.D., care of the devil
    C.O.D., the devil in me
    C.O.D., care of the devil
    Care of the devil in me

    The curse of love is the cause of the pain
    The crime of the day is when you do it again
    Call on the doctor, cash on demand
    If you give them a finger, they'll take off your hand

    C.O.D., care of the devil
    C.O.D., the devil in me
    C.O.D., care of the devil
    Care of the devil in me
    Down to the devil with me

    That call of a dog, cry of a bitch
    The sign of a sinner's the size of his itch

    C.O.D., care of the devil
    C.O.D., the devil in me
    C.O.D., care of the devil
    C.O.D., oh
    C.O.D., care of the devil
    C.O.D., the devil in me
    C.O.D., care of the devil
    C.O.D., oh, care of the devil in me

    I'm paying, paying
    I'm paying C.O.D
    Care of the devil
    Care of the devil in me
    It's the curse of love Writer/s: Angus Mckinnon Young, Brian Johnson, Malcolm Mitchell Young

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganAccording to genius.com. this song is about a VD, but that that info was posted by some dude. Though I could kinda see how that could fit...
  • Philip from Highland InI agree. Very underrated song. One deep cut I love to listen to time and again.
  • Jodie from Xxxxx, MdJorge, "is on the same league", no religion is evil, not ACDC.
  • Jorge from Bronx, NyHaven't you noticed,that the religion that brings up,heavy metal music is evil,is on the same league?
  • David from Knoxville, TnThis is one of the most under-rated songs in the band's entire catalogue.
