You think that everything's alright
I think you might be wrong
You just don't know how hard I try
I try to catch your eye
I missed again

You know it really gets me down
To see you with some clown
Who thinks he's so in touch with you
But he don't have a clue about
The things you need,
The books you read
The friends you keep,
On which side of the bed you sleep,
Or anything about you

Everywhere I go I feel you creeping out of nowhere
You're the demon on my shoulder
You're the devil behind my smile
Devil behind my smile

I'm in a state and on a roll
It's getting hard to keep control
You'll never know how hard I try
I try to catch your eye

Everywhere I go I feel you creeping out of nowhere
You're the demon on my shoulder
You're the devil behind my smile

Every single time I try to keep you from my mind
I feel you creeping up my spine
Cos you're the devil behind my smile
