Lyrics
DEVIL TURN TRUE
I feel your smile
Like the light of day
Your laugh is a
Workingman's holiday
Never met another
Angel like you
You make this devil
Turn true
I feel so lucky
To look in your eyes
'Cause that's when I dare
To fantasize
About all the things
That I'm gonna do
To tease
The devil in you
(bridge)
Never had a angel who
Could ever love me true
Whenever I was thinking of
Unsentimental love
My mind always turned
To you
You make this devil
Turn true
I need to feel
That you're by my side
You never would stop
To criticize
And always give the
Devil his due
Whenever he's
Lovin' you
I feel your need
To run away
Whenever I whisper
For you to stay
So I do the only thing I can do --
I'm just waiting for you
You make this devil
Turn true
