I saw you dancin' in the back room You went off like a smokin' gun Right then and there I knew that I could never ever be the one So now I'm fadin' in the distance Ridin' a horse without a name They told me: You should keep your friends real close But enemies on tighter reins
I could feel the thunder deep in your heart Maybe it's not safe here lyin' in your arms You're bad deep down to your bones, but It's better the devil you know, ah
Better the devil you know Better the devil you know You're bad deep down to your bones, but It's better the devil you know
I hear you callin' after midnight Our bodies tangled like the desert winds You think I'm blinded by your love But I see all the lies you're hidin' in, ah
I could feel the thunder deep in your heart Maybe it's not safe here lyin' in your arms You're bad deep down to your bones, but It's better the devil you know, ah
Better the devil you know Better the devil you know You're bad deep down to your bones, but It's better the devil you know
I ain't no angel, I've tasted sin I've been unfaithful and made my peace within For all the lovers that I hurt, I guess I get what I deserve Ah, ah Ah, ah, ah
Better the devil you know Better the devil you know You're bad deep down to your bones, but It's better the devil you know
