Some one's whisp'rin' in my ear
I say, no no go a-way, but he don't hear
He follows me around
Builds me up, tears me down
I try my best to shake him
But he just hangs around
It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps
Givin' me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes
Tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly old son of a gun again
He keeps tellin' me
That I'm the lucky one again
But I still have the rain
Still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
Suppose I didn't stay
Ran a-way......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 be- wild-ered
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 got-ta tag a-long
With that ole devil called love
It's that ole devil called love...........
