THE DEVIL YOU KNOW

Hey baby, climb inside.
I see you goin' nowhere, nothing special in your life.
Hey baby, you know me well.
I can make it feel like heaven, while you're on your way to hell.
Now you know baby, you really ought to go.
Sometimes it just seems easier to stay with the devil you know.

Hey baby, I make it easy.
What's your pleasure? Where's the fire? Are you lonely? Mercy! Mercy!
Mama, Mama, escape from the troubles in your life.
You'll hate yourself later, but you'll feel so good tonight.
Now you know baby, you really ought to go.
Sometimes it just seems easier to stay with the devil you know.

I've got you in my big, strong arms.
I'll hold you helpless; you pretend there is no harm.
Soon you'll forget what brought you here.
You'll only remember what I whisper in your ear.
Now you know baby you really ought to go.
Sometimes it just seems easier to stay with the devil you know.

Hey baby, run away.
I know if you're not careful you'll be back again some day.
I'll take you in. I always do.
It's not that I love you. I don't want us to be true.
Now you know baby, you really ought to go,
Sometimes it just seems easier to stay with the devil you know.
