The Devil I Don't
I’ve given too many chances
I’ve let too many things go
There lies, these games, these dances
Aren’t fun
But they’re what I know
I know you don’t treat me right
But at least you treat me
You are not the man I need
But at least somebody needs me
I’ve been hurt and deceived
And yet still I believe
That being with you is better than being alone
I should leave, I should go
But the devil that I know
Will still love me better than the devil I don’t
The devil I don’t
You say
Lie down and roll over
You tell me
Sit and stay
And I can’t seem to remember
A time I didn’t obey
You don’t treat me right, I know
But who else will treat me
You are not the man I need
But I need someone to need me
I’ve been hurt and deceived
And yet still I believe
That being with you is better than being alone
I should leave, I should go
But the devil that I know
Will still love me better than the devil I don’t
The devil I don’t
If I should leave
Where would I go?
I am with you
Or I’m alone
And who’s to say
That someone new
Would treat me any better than you
You’re the lesser of two evils and I confide
Much prefer your evil to my own mind
Some might feel pity for my misery
It’s the price that I pay for someone’s company
And being with you
Being with you
I’ve been hurt and deceived
And yet still I believe
That being with you is better than being alone
I should leave, I should go
But the devil that I know
Will still love me better than the devil I don’t
The devil I don’t
The devil I don’t
Will still love me better than the devil I don’t
