Andra Day - The United States vs. Billie Holiday (Music from the Motion Picture)

The Devil & I Got up to Dance a Slow Dance (feat. Sebastian Kole)

The devil and I got up to dance a slow dance
The devil and I got up to dance a slow dance
She held my waist and took my hand
And swung me 'round into a trance
The devil and I began to dance a slow dance

She showed her tongue and had the nerve to ask me
Yes, all at once, she had the nerve to ask me
I'll leave your body on this floor
'Cause it's your soul I came here for
The devil and I were caught up in a slow dance

Whoa, there's no way in the world to save you now
This kiss the sweetest poison that I found
Before I let you go, I'll take you down
I'll take you down, down, down

As Ella sang, the room was moving faster
She smiled a fatal smile and so I asked her
She said, "There is to be no turning back
I'm strong, I'm beautiful and Black"
The devil and I were caught up in a slow dance

Whoa, here's no way in the world to save you now
This kiss the sweetest poison that I found
And before I let you go, I'll take you down
I'll take you down, down, down, down

And after that, I really don't remember
She fell on me and forced me to surrender
I woke up to a different life
But I could not forget those eyes
The night the devil held me in a slow dance

Oh, there's no way in the world to save you now
This kiss the sweetest poison that I found
And before I let you go, I'll take you down
I'll take you down, down, down
