Better the Devil You Know Lyrics by Joe Bonamassa

Different Shades of Blue

2014

You say you got reason
To walk out that door
You say that you're leavin'
Like many times before
Always get the feelin'
Don't treat you right
Now you're runnin' south-bound baby
Leave it all behind
Pray that you love me
It's one thing we got
Now that it's ruined
Love me or not
Cause you're out on your own
It's a hard way to go
Better the devil you know
Than the devil you don't know
You search for your freedom
You dig up his lies
Rolling the hard way
That's no kind of life
(unknown)
Top of the bottom
And he brings you to your knees
Maybe you should
Life you desire
Can't feel the
Light the fire
Cause you're out on your own
It's a hard way to go
Better the devil you know
Than the devil you don't know
Drive me crazy
Played myself for a fool
As you reach for the bottle
For (unknown)
Keep bringing me down
Say that you're hungry
Do ya have it all
Pray that you love me
It's one thing we got
Now that it's ruined
Love me or not
Cause you're out on your own
It's a hard way to go
Better the devil you know
Than the devil you don't know
Devil you don't know
