Devil May Care

(album: Joe South - 1971)

Devil may care
That's my attitude they say
Whoa-ho, when I carry on this way
Like I never cared for you, mm-hmm

Devil may care
Though my acting's got to be the worst, mm-hmm
But when my bubble dreams all burst
Yeah, then whatever will I do?
I wanna know, whoa-ho

Who do I think I'm fooling
Every time I wear this crazy disguise?
How can I go on laughing
When a tear dims this gleam in my eye?

That's known as devil may care
How can I just grin and bear, whoa-ho
And just say devil may care, mm-hmm
When my angel doesn't love me?
Whoa ho, yeah, yeah

Who do I think I'm fooling
Every time I wear this crazy disguise?
How can I go on laughing
When a tear dims this gleam in my eye?

Everybody calls devil may care
How can I just grin and bear? mm-hmm
And just say devil may care
Whoa-ho, when my angel doesn't love me, yeah

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, devil may care
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Devil may care
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Devil may care
