I'm the devil that you know Baby, I know what you want I know you ask for miracles You people are 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 You all like the familiar 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 Now, people loosen up He may have loved you once But why you think God quit Performing all his stunts? You like the burning bush His badass victors on the battlefronts Where's 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? I used to like you better When you had that diamond smile You close 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 lose that chaperone I'm the devil that you know Not the devil that you don't 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!
