The Devil You Know Lyrics

So much for my thinkin’, I thought you were the one.
But little did I know, Girl, that you were good as gone.
I knew you couldn’t see them, but I could see his horns.
This evertongue got the best of you and now my heart is torn.
You tried to break it to me, that we’ve gone our separate ways.
But I didn’t do no beggin’, Girl, didn’t try to make you stay.
I took all of our pictures, then watched them burn.
You took all of my dreams away, well now it’s my turn.
Well, I may be just a sinner,
But I’ve always treated you like a saint.
Now you’ve gone and gave your hear your another,
And I’m sick and tired of tryin’ to wait,

For you to go and change your mind,
When I know for a fact that you won’t.
And the Devil you know,
Is better than that devil you don’t.
So I went out looking for you, and Mr “What’s-His-Name”,
So I could tell you what I think and put you two to shame.
I found you in a honkytong with a stage next to the bar.
So I bust on in, grab that mic, and pour out my heart!
Well, I may be just a sinner,
But I’ve always treated you like a saint.
Now you’ve gone and gave your hear your another,
And I’m sick and tired of tryin’ to wait,
For you to go and change your mind,
When I know for a fact that you won’t.
And the Devil you know,
Is better than that devil you don’t.
I’m moving on now, Baby, and I ain’t gonna frown.
But with god as my witness, you’ll never leave this town!
Well, I may be just a sinner,
But I’ve always treated you like a saint.
Now you’ve gone and gave your hear your another,
And I’m sick and tired of tryin’ to wait,
Yes I am.
For you to go and change your mind,
When I know for a fact that you won’t.
And the Devil you know,
Is better than that devil you don’t.
But the Devil you know,
Is better than that devil you don’t!
Yay-yeah,
So long, Baby..
