better the devil you know

I've had word that you've been seen around
People talk, it's gettin' around town
Look out, news sure travels fast!
Take it easy, or you're never gonna last

I've been cool, you never heard me moan
Day and night, I worked my fingers to the bone
You've been out, when you say you've been at home
I believed you, when you said you were alone

Well, better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better than that, you know the Devil in me
Better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better you know that the real Devil is me

I don't want you under lock and key
You can still be what you want to be
No, I'm not entirely without blame
All I ask you is that you play the game

Well, better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better than that, you know the Devil in me
Better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better you know that the real Devil is me, yeah!

Hey, Devil!

Well, better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better than that, you know the Devil in me, yeah!
Better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better you know that the real Devil is me, yeah!

Better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better than that, you know the Devil in me, hey!
Better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better you know that the real Devil is me

Better the Devil you know, than you don't know
Better than that, you know the Devil in me, yeah!
Better the Devil you know, than you don't know -
