Lyrics

Better the Devil You Know (Live in Sydney)

[Intro]

Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh

Better the devil you know

Better the devil you know

Better the devil you know

Better the devil you know

[Verse 1]

Say you won't leave me no more

I'll take you back again

No more excuses no, no

Because I've heard them all before

A hundred times or more

[Chorus]

I'll forgive and forget

If you say, you'll never go

Because it's true what they say

It's better the devil you know

[Verse 2]

Our love wasn't perfect, I know

I think, I know the score

You say you love me, oh boy

I can't ask for more

I'll come if you should call

[Chorus]

I'll forgive and forget

If you say, you'll never go

Because it's true what they say

It's better the devil you know

I'll be here every day

Waiting for your love to show

Yes, it's true what they say (Tell me, what do they say?)

It's better the devil you know

[Bridge]

Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh

I'll take you back

I'll take you back again

I'll take you back

I'll take you back again

[Verse 3]

Say you won't leave me no more

I'll take you back again

No more excuses no, no

Because I've heard them all before

A hundred times or more

[Chorus]

I'll forgive and forget

If you say you'll never go

Because it's true what they say

It's better the devil you know

I'll be here every day

Waiting for your love to show

Yes, it's true what they say

It's better the devil you know

Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh
