[Inrto]
I'm the devil that you know, baby, I know what you want

[Verse 1]
I know you asked for miracles, you people good at that
You're waiting for the man to pull a rabbit from his hat
But i can get you off, yeah, bad boys are an aphrodisiac
I promise baby, that i can be anything you want

I'm the devil that you know, or the devil that you don't

[Verse 2]
You all like the familliar, you all like the routine
You all wish you knew what you know, and still be seventeen
I had a talk with Jesus, I said " Man, you're just part of the machine"
He unfriended me on Facebook, I said "Oh no you don't!"

I'm the devil that you know, baby, I know what you want

[Verse 3]
Now people loosen up, he may have lovеd you once
But why you think God quit performing all his stunts?
You like thе burning bush, his bad ass victors on the battlefronts
Wheres that angry guy? Smitin' heathens and sending plagues?
God has left the building, you can raise the barricades
Sing it for me baby, Sing your solemn song
Listen to me, everything you do and say is wrong
Your very best interest at heart, you know i've had them all along
Everyone gets nervous, when they face the great unknown

Do you want the devil that you know, or the devil that you don't?

[Verse 4]
I used to like you better, when you had that diamond smile
You closed your knees, tossed the keys, and joined the rank and file
Your pretty pink Ferrari, don't give joy rides in exile
Come back to me, baby, just loose that chaperone

I'm the devil that you know, not the devil that you don't

[Verse 5]
You're looking up to heaven, dreaming on a star
You can't reach it baby, not from where you are
You stopped drinking double bloody mary's at the airport bar
You're scared to make a move, it's so not what you want

You're caught between the devil that you know, and the devil that you don't
