Lyrics

Devil May Care

[Verse 1]

Devil may care

That's my attitude they say

When I carry on this way

Like I never cared for you

[Verse 2]

Devil may care (Devil may care)

Though my acting is the worst

But when my bubble dreams all burst

Then whatever will I do?

Woah-oh, I wanna know

[Bridge]

Who do I think I'm foolin'

When I wear this crazy disguise?

How can I go on laughin'

When a tear dims this gleam in my eye?

[Verse 3]

That they got devil may care

How can I just grin and bear

And just say the Devil may care?

When my angel doesn't love me? (Devil may care)

Dеvil may care, woah-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 3]

Devil may care (Dеvil may care)

How can I just grin and bear?  Yeah, yeah

And just say the Devil may care

When my angel doesn't love me? (Devil may care)

Devil may care, woah-oh, oh-oh (Devil may care)

[Outro]

Devil may care, woah-oh, oh-oh (Devil may care)
