Lyrics
#VERSE
I'm standing on the stairs starin’ at my feet, prayin’ that they're too caught up to see
How I get tangled in the mess you make, again my love ain't worth a thing
#VERSE
This song is threatening to tear defenses down, is it a siren’s call or a circus clown
The time of night has come again when I'm lyin’ to my oldest friend
Who's become my own worst enemy
#CHORUS
Devil woman get away from me
You're just spending all your time
Tearing down my peace of mind
Dear God why won't you let me be
#VERSE
Your words keep ringing in my ears, are they the hard sought truth or just foolish fears
I find myself eyeing the half gone wine that one lovely girl left behind
Just to drown out your insanity
#CHORUS
Devil woman get away from me
You're just spending all your time
Tearing down my peace of mind
Dear God why won't you let me be
#BRIDGE
I've been crying and crying and trying to tell you the truth for so long
Beggin mercy, mercy, mercy, can't you sift the right from the wrong
But you can't seem to hear me
#CHORUS
Devil woman…
You're just spending all your time
Tearing down my peace of mind
Please stop robbing me of my peace of mind

You say “if you can't make it right just make it pretty”
“If you can't make it right just make it pretty”
“If you can't make it right just make it pretty”
You say “if you can't make it right just make it pretty”
“If you can't make it right just make it pretty”
“If you can't make it right just make it pretty”
