Devil Made Me Do It

(альбом: Bridge Over Troubled Water - 1971)

Got off work at five o'clock and started home to you
Run into an old acquaintance, and we had one or two
And when I woke up this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do it.

I only meant to say hello to an old memory
But when I tried to say goodbye he took a hold of me
And when he let go this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do it.

The devil made me taste the wine and helped the glass abide
And like the blind man leads the blind I drank till lid ran dry
And when I woke up this morning didn't know where I was at
My one excuse to offer you the devil made me do it.

Oh, when I got home this morning
Didn't know where you were at
My one excuse to offer you
The devil made me do it...
