If you turn back now, I might call out your name
If you turn back now, I might just turn away
If you turn back now, I might carry you home
If you got good news, I might hang up the phone
If you turn back now, I might just watch you go
I might love you again if you leave me alone
Hm-mm
The devil is working even in the rain when it's pouring
The devil's work begins early every morning
Yeah, the devil is real, and he's living in Heaven
The devil's gonna love you to death if you let him
The devil will argue, he will beg you to stay
But I belong to him who gave me away, ah-ah
The beaches will boil, and the baskets will burn
The Moon will come down on your tail as it turns
The Sun sill stare down on the street where I buy
That beautiful, beautiful, beautiful milk that is sold the day after you die
And the seesaws will swing on a cold Saturday
And I will love you, who has little to say, ah-ah
You're trying to know what they're whispering, but you don't
There's a whispering that dies down wherever you go
Trying to know who you should want, but you can't
You passed right on by that lover with the lips in his hands
And you're trying to win back my heart, but you won't
You're trying to win back my heart, but you won't
My heart is for those who leave me alone, alone
Oh-oh, oh, yeah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
