Charity Children - Pay the Devil Too

I was doing fine without ya.
I had no one on my mind.
I was dancin' right behind ya
drinkin' gin and lime.

And then you came marching over
about to change my history
when you tapped me on my shoulder
and, oh so casually,
like pollen to a bee,
you said these words to me...

Sweetheart youre a lover,
danger through and through
so I'll tell you something you already knew
that there's freedom in the madness
but you pay the devil too

I enjoy the spell I'm under.
Bad days are over, I'm almost sure.
But in the morning I wake and wonder,
what did you say before?
What do I pay for?
Oh, repeat it just once more.

Sweetheart youre a lover,
danger through and through
so I'll tell you something you already knew
that there's freedom in the madness
but you pay the devil too.
Yes there's freedom in the madness
but you pay the devil too

I saw you sittin' this last Sunday
in a bar, lookin' awful blue.
Sculling back your whiskey soda
I slowly came to you,
took a breath or two...

I know you'll be okay.
Don't forget what they say,
you pay and you pay.
I know I'll be okay,
yes it's true what they say,
you pay and you pay.
And you pay.
And you pay.
And you pay.
And you pay.
And you pay.
