A Devil Like Me (Needs An Angel Like You) Lyrics by Buck Owens

Open Up Your Heart

1966

[Verse 1]
Well, a devil like me needs an angel like you
To really tame me down
'Cause if this devil had an angel like you
I'd stop my runnin' around
I'd stay at home like a good man should
And never ever make you blue
[Refrain]
'Cause a devil like me needs an angel like you
You bet your little hearty do
[Verse 2]
Well, I never been one for steady girls
I've always played the field
This one and that one and every other which one
Was just another spin of the wheel
But when you've walked in with your big green eyes
And your pretty little dress of blue
[Refrain]
I knew a devil like me needs an angel like you
You bet your little hearty do
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, if a devil me had an angel like you
I'd change my reputation
But a devil like me with a shady past
Ain't got no recommendation
I give you real love, true love, a whole lotta sweet love
And I make your every dream come true
[Refrain]
Yes, a devil like me needs an angel like you
You bet your little hearty do
[Verse 1]
Well, a devil like me needs an angel like you
To really tame me down
'Cause if this devil had an angel like you
I'd stop my runnin' around
I'd stay at home like a good man should
And never ever make you blue
[Refrain]
'Cause a devil like me needs an angel like you
You bet your little hearty do
