Go on, girl, take your chances |
|
See how long you can go on from man to man |
|
I can read the lines between your stolen glances |
|
And i know it's time to fold this losing hand |
|
'cause you're drawn to the flame |
|
By the thrill and the shame |
|
Of the cheating game they taught you how to play |
|
But there's a price to that high lie you're living |
|
And you've still got the devil to pay |
|
Join your friends, while you got 'em |
|
'cause you know you're getting older every day |
|
You can't wait to let 'em take you to the bottom |
|
And i'm getting tired of standing in your way |
|
But when you hit the ground |
|
Don't go lookin' around |
|
For the pieces of the love you threw away |
|
That's just a part of the high cost of leaving |
|
And you've still got the devil to pay. |
|
You've been flying so high for so long that you lied |
|
To yourself now, most of all |
|
Baby, all that you needed from me was the freedom to fall. |
|
When your bright lights are gone |
|
You'll be standing alone |
|
And forsaken in the naked light of day |
|
And you'll know that it's all over but the dying |
|
And you've still got the devil to pay. |
