It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes
Tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly ole-sun-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 and 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 doIt's never been my intention
to purposely shun none of
the people around me
but now 've finally realized
I'm all on my own
i've always had the opinion
that if I can live with myself
somebody else can do as well
but now I'm sittin' in my room
and I don't feel at home
when I'm in a crowd
how come I feel so alone?
every place feels like home
when I'm alone
I've got no peace of mind
I've got no peace of mind
the bigger the population
the fewer you can see
you really know
it's an obvious paradox
or at least it should
I've lost most of my visions
but sometimes fore I go to sleep
I swear I see eternity
and it doesn't scare me
though I wish it would
