devil

[Verse 1] He talks in my left ear When the room goes still Says, “take the fast lane” Says, “feed that thrill” I keep my hands clean But he knows my name Puts my old mistakes Back in the frame [Pre-Chorus] And he grins real sweet When I start to shake Tells me one small lie Can fix the ache I know that look I know that grin He gets louder When I cave in [Chorus] Devil on my shoulder (Devil on my shoulder) He knows my weak spot He knows my number Devil on my shoulder (Devil on my shoulder) One little step And I go under [Verse 2] He rides with me home In the backseat dark Leaves a red thumbprint Right on my heart He says, “go on, say it” Say the hurt out loud Make a clean break In a messy crowd [Pre-Chorus] And he grins real sweet When I start to shake Tells me one small lie Can fix the ache I know that look I know that grin He gets louder When I cave in [Chorus] Devil on my shoulder (Devil on my shoulder) He knows my weak spot He knows my number Devil on my shoulder (Devil on my shoulder) One little step And I go under [Bridge] Maybe I’m not cursed Maybe I’m just bruised Maybe every night I pick the wrong truth But I hear that voice Try to pull me in So I lock the door And start again [Final Chorus] Devil on my shoulder (Devil on my shoulder) He knows my weak spot He knows my number Devil on my shoulder (Devil on my shoulder) I see through the smoke I break the hunger Devil on my shoulder (Devil on my shoulder) One little step And I go under
