The Devil There Too
I knew a woman who had a smile like a loaded gun
She moved from room to room like she’s on the run
Lived her life like she had something to prove
Could never ever sit still was always on to something new
And I say, ooh, what are you going to do
When all that trouble’s taken root?
It doesn’t none the good things that she done
How far away she try and run ’cause there’s a devil there
There’s a devil there, too.
I knew a woman who had a house that she couldn’t call home
Was sad from too many years of sleeping alone
Rather had a love like a candle been taken away
She had a heart that would bleed most every day
And I say what are you gonna do
When a hand like that has been dealt to you?
When her love he got taken away
So she spend most everyday with a devil there
There’s a devils there, too.
I knew a woman with the way like a falling snow
Everything was just so pure anywhere she go
She went away to find a man to plant a garden with
She looked like a wilted flower when she did
I say, ooh, what are you gonna do?
When all that green gets tinted in a shade of blue
When the mud mixes with the snow
Where did that lost halo go?
There’s a devils there, too
There’s a devil there, too.
