Lyrics

They want to burn me at the stake
They want my ashes on the ground
My heart scattered into many pieces
My hope nowhere to be found

For a second I despair
When I see you laugh and stare
When you judge and don’t know why
Somehow that’ll pass me by

I’m the devil
Didn’t you know?
I’m the devil
I’ll make you bleed, I’ll make you grow

I’ll make you work so very hard
I’ll push you to do your best
I’ll take you where you’ve never been before
Set you aside from all the rest

For a second I’m not there
When you’re trying to compare
When you’re mean and don’t know why
Somehow that’ll pass me by

I’m the devil
Didn’t you know?
I’m the devil
I’ll make you bleed, I’ll make you grow

On the outside I’m so sweet
But inside I’m burning up
I’ll have you kneeling at my feet
Begging for a taste of my love
For a second I’m not there
When you’re trying to compare
When you’re mean and don’t know why
Somehow that’ll pass me by

I’m the devil
Didn’t you know?
I’m the devil
I’ll make you bleed, I’ll make you grow
