That Ole Devil Called Love

Billie Holiday

13

It's that ole devil called love game

Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again

Put a ring 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 ring

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 do
