He's got some you-won't-believe-story to share
He's the place that I go when I need someone who knows me

Just my devil, my devil delight
I've seen those midnight ladies just for the moment's using
She keep on playing, never know whether she's losing it
He got those sexy green eyes, clicking the trigger, no warning
It's all gonna come rolling back in the morning
