Someone's whisp'rin' in my ear, I say
no, no, go away, but he don't hear
he follows me around, builds me up, tears me down 
I try my best to shake him but he just hangs around 

It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again 
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly son of a gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain, still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart

Suppose I didn't stay, ran away, wouldn't play
That devil what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love

He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down
'til I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up the fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that siren song, I just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love
