Oh the devil has taken my baby away from me And I'm not sure what I could've done differently I tried everything And maybe I just tried too hard, maybe I tried barely Maybe trying scares me I know I'm not 23, my age is catching up with me Now I'm not so pretty Well I know our love is blaring loud From all the houses we've moved out Well I know our love is blaring loud From all the houses we've moved out Oh the devil has taken my lady away from me And I'm not sure what I could've sung differently This is the melody I'm really not that strong, you see She's stubborn as a cedar tree I'm breakin' like a levee Maybe we just planned too far and sewed our future out of yarn When we should be weaving Well I know our love is blaring loud From all the houses we've moved out Well I know our love is blaring loud From all the houses we've moved out What the devil has come of me lately? This isn't me And I'm not sure what I could've brought differently This is the gift we need I know you wanna sting me, but honey it's not working Cause all the bees are walking And maybe it's the birthday card I buried in my mother's yard She'll read it when she's talking
