[Verse 1]
Someone's whisperin' in my ear
I say, "No, no, go away"
But he don't hear
He follows me around
Builds me up, tears me down
Try my best to shake him
But he just hangs around

[Verse 2]
It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Puttin' rain in my eyes
Tears in my dreams, rocks in my heart

[Verse 3]
It's that sly son-of-a-gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain
I still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Suppose I didn't stay, ran away
Wouldn't play
That devil, what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around
Build me up, tear me down
I'd be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do
[Chorus]
Might as well give up that 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Suppose I didn't stay, ran away
Wouldn't play
That devil, what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around
Build me up, tear me down
I'd be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do

[Chorus]
Might as well give up that 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
