Devil In The Eye - Big Country

Take a little care

When you put your lips

To her long cool neck

One kiss will be too much

A hundred not enough

Treat her with respect

If I could tell this to you

Would you believe it was true

You might just laugh I expect

And say you feel sophisticated

Confident and ready for the next

Has no time for modesty

Doesn’t care for honesty

Deals in broken promises

Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty

Doesn’t care for honesty

Deals in broken promises

We’ll look the devil in the eye

You’ll be the class fool

A perfect asshole

You’ll be the guy in control

And make decisions

Based on derision

And wake up deep in a hole

Wishing the ground would

Open beneath you

Enough to swallow you whole

So you don’t have to face the wreckage

You left scattered from the night before

Has no time for modesty

Doesn’t care for honesty

Deals in broken promises

Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty

Doesn’t care for honesty

Deals in broken promises

We’ll look the devil in the eye

You will be dazzled by

The pictures she will paint

Colours she will bring

And feel so safe and warm

Far away from harm

Wrapped up in her wings

And slowly drift through the day

Letting it all slip away

Without a care in the world

And wake up in a cold sweat

Screaming for her touch to ease your troubled soul

Has no time for modesty

Doesn’t care for honesty

Deals in broken promises

Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty

Doesn’t care for honesty

Deals in broken promises

We’ll look the devil in the eye

We’ll look the devil in the eye
