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
Puttin' 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, I 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
I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do

Might as well, give up that 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

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
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
