lyrics

It’s better the devil you do
Than the one you don’t
I’ve been waiting for years and years
But I’m still lost at home

That’ll do he says
That’ll do
It’s better the devil you do

I try and I try to do
something good
Because I feel like it not because
somebody said I should
That won’t do, he says
That won’t do
It’s better the devil you do

Oh….

It takes one poor soul
Worse off than you
To make you feel better
To make you not feel so blue
Give me my due he says
And you can have yours too
It’s better the devil you do

Oh….

Do it, do it
Why not do it
I’m gonna do it
But I shouldn’t do it
I’m gonna do it anyway
No you can't stop me
I gonna do it
Do it
