Lyrics
The Devil Made Me Do It
Barraza/Ingram
It wasn?t me ? I had nothing to do with it
It wasn?t me ? it wasn?t my fault
It wasn?t me ? I was just mindin? my own business
The devil made me do it, you know
v.1
Adam and Eve, they had their run of the Garden
There was just one tree they were not supposed to touch
They ate that fruit, they thought God wouldn?t know it
But when He came a callin? they back-pedaled in a rush
(repeat chorus)
v.2
Well nowadays, we have plenty of temptation
Why, just today, my eyes caused me to sin
I saw this fine young thing ? well, we better not go there
I knew it was Devil, rearin? his ugly head again
It wasn?t me ? I didn't mean to do it...I mean,
It wasn?t me ? it wasn?t my fault
It wasn?t me ? I was just mindin? my own business
The devil made me do it, you know
v.3
Well you?ve been there, you know exactly what I?m sayin?
You?ve all done things that you know you shouldn?t have done
And just when you think you?ve got it all under control
Yep, there?s that devil and here we go again
(repeat chorus twice)
