Devil On the Side

This is the time
I can feel it in my bones
With just one look, you could rewrite all I know
Look at me go
Running away with this idea
I always do, like a love-hungry fool

I'm down on my knees
One hand on my heart. (hand on my heart)
The other one's crossing fingers,(ooh) waiting for this to start
Oh I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil on the side (ooh)
That you're gonna do it, you're gonna get this right
I'm praying to the Lord, and the (ooh) devil on the side

I'm addicted to hope
It's a natural high
Forgetting about the crash waiting on the other side
Look at me go
I got a smile on like this is real
And my mind, well it's full of what you possibly feel

So I'm down on my knees
One hand on my heart. (hand on my heart)
The other one's crossing fingers,(ooh) waiting for this to start
Oh I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil on the side (ooh)
That you're gonna do it, you're gonna get this right
I'm praying to the Lord
And the devil
And the devil
Oh, the devil

I heard selling your sell is a foolish exchange, (oohs)
But what if mine's already worn and weary?
What if selling my soul means that I get you?
The question then becomes
Are you worth what I'm willing to do?
'Cause I'd trade anything, in return for something true

So I'm down on my knees
One hand on my heart. (hand on my heart)
The other one's crossing fingers,(ooh) waiting for this to start
Oh I'm praying to the Lord, and the devil on the side (ooh)
That you're gonna love me and I'll call somebody mine
I'm praying to the Lord
Ooh praying to the Lord, ooh
Oh I'm praying to the Lord and the devil on the side
