The Devil You Know

I saw you dancing in the back room
You went off like a smoking gun
Right then and there, I knew that I could never ever be the one
So now I'm fading in the distance
Riding a horse without a name
They told me, "You should keep your friends real close
But enemies on tighter reins"

I could feel the thunder deep in your heart
Maybe it's not safe here lying in your arms
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know, ah

Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know

I hear you calling after midnight
Our bodies tangled like the desert winds
You think I'm blinded by your love
But I see all the lies you're hiding in, ah

I could feel the thunder deep in your heart
Maybe it's not safe here lying in your arms
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know, ah

Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know

I ain't no angel, I've tasted sin
I've been unfaithful and made my peace within
For all the lovers that I hurt, I guess I get what I deserve
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know
