That Ole Devil Called Love — Billie Holiday

Allan roberts / doris fisher

Its that ole devil called love game

Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again

Put a ring in my eyes

Tears in my dreams

And rocks in my heart

Its that sly ole-sun-of-a-gun again

He keeps telling me that Im the lucky one again

But I still have that ring

Still have those tears

And those rocks in my heart

Suppose I didnt stay and ran away

Wouldnt play

That devil-what a potion he would brew

Hed follow me around

Build me up, tear me down

Till Id be so bewildered

I wouldnt know what to do

Might as well give up the fight again

I know darn well hell convince me

That hes right again

When he sings that siren song

I just gotta tag along

With that ole devil called love

Hed follow around

Build me up, tear me down

Till Id be so bewildered

I wouldnt know what to do
