The Devil I Know - Joan Armatrading

Makes the call

Say everything’s gonna be all right

Don’t worry Joanie

I’ll be a little bit late tonight

But I worry

'Cos I know

That’s just how I got you

Likes a woman

That he has to chase a lot

So I worry

You know

It breaks a poor girl’s heart

I know how he works

I know all the signs

I inspired the lines

Men

No self control

Says I’m all he wants

But I watch him prowl

Yet

If I should stray

I’m a wicked child

And he’d make me pay

The devil I know

One of these days

But that’s what I always say

The devil I know

And the games that he can play

I know how he works

I know all the lines

Men

No self control

Says I’m all he wants

But I watch him prowl

Yet

If I should stray

I’m a wicked child

And he’d make me pay

The devil I know

The devil I know

One of these days

That’s what I always say

But it’s the devil I know

The games that he can play
