___________________________________ It's that ole devil called love again Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again Puttin' rain in my eyes Tears in my dreams And rocks in my heart It's that sly ole son-of-a-gun again He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again But I still have that rain Still have those tears And those rocks in my heart Suppose I didn't stay, ran away Wouldn't play That devil-what a potion he would brew He'd follow me around Build me up, tear me down Till I'd be so bewildered I wouldn't know what to do Might as well give up the fight again I know darn well he'll convince me That he's right again When he sings that siren song I just gotta tag along With that ole devil called love He'd follow around Build me up, tear me down Till I'd be so bewildered I wouldn't know what to do ============================
