That Ole Devil Called Love by Billie Holiday
Artist: Billie Holiday
Album: Billie Holiday - The Complete Decca Sessions
Allan roberts / doris fisher
It's 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
It's that sly ole-sun-of-a-gun again
He keeps telling me that i'm the lucky one again
But i still have that ring
Still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
Suppose i didn't stay and ran away
Wouldn't play
That devil-what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me around
Build me up, tear me down
Till 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
He'd follow around
Build me up, tear me down
Till i'd be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do
