The Devil You Know Lyrics by Arlissa

The Lovers

2021

[Verse]
One day, you're gonna leave this place for good
When time must have stood still for more than it should
One day
One day, you're gonna break out of this look
When the going gets good, better get going too
One day

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah-ah-ah
They say, you might find yourself alone
The world is as big as it is bad to the bone
They say
Ah-ah-ah
They say, danger loves the unknown
Better the devil you know than the one that you don't

[Chorus]
Better the devil you know than the onе you don't
Better the dеvil you know than the one you don't
La-la-la, I sort of take my chances, and let evil see
'Cause I won't, la-la-la
Ever be looking back 'less I turn to stone
Better the devil I want

[Bridge]
Better like I want than the one that I don't
Better, better, better a thorny rose than no flowers at all
Better, better, better a glass half full than empty straight to the bottom
Better, better, better the devil I want than the one that I don't
Than the one that I don't

[Outro]
One day, you're gonna leave this place for good
When time must have stood still for more than it should
One day
