lyrics

I wish it didn’t taste like sin
On my lips when I speak his name
And his smile didn’t draw me in
Like a moth to a kerosene flame
Like the moon pulls the tide
Like the galaxies collide
I’ve got no resistance
In the spell of his charms
Dying to be in his arms
This is my existence
I burn, I pine
He can’t be mine

So devil take my heart
‘Cause it’s only good for love
And I ain’t playing no more part in that
Make me mean, make me cruel
I’m done loving like a fool
‘Cause it’s shaking me apart so bad
People think that hearts are grown
Up above, but I know
You make them with your art
So devil take my heart

You started all this way back when
Putting shame into poor Eve’s eyes
You’ve been playing us like pawns since then
Now I’m done with your little game of lies
Like a thief on the run
Like a bullet from a gun
I’ll be gone forever
I’ll escape from your thrall
You ain’t gonna see me fall
Till the twelfth of never
Leave love behind
To hell consigned

So devil take my heart
‘Cause it’s only good for love
And I ain’t playing no more part in that
Make me mean, make me cruel
I’m done loving like a fool
‘Cause it’s shaking me apart so bad
People think that hearts are grown
Up above, but I know
You make them with your art
So devil take my heart
Devil take my heart
