Lyrics

His coffee cup
Is dancing on the end of his knee
He comes on like a chainsaw runnin
He's heaven and misery
And I'm a fool for his insincerity
When he says that he loves me

It's nothing but the devil and the deep blues
Nothing but the devil and the deep blues
Nothing that a girl can do to lose
The devil and the deep blues

My old friends
Are shaking their heads at me
Whispering secrets, filling in blanks
And coveting the news like thieves
I think she's really slipped this time
It's something you've gotta see to believe

It's nothing but the devil and the deep blues
Nothing but the devil and the deep blues
Nothing that a girl can do to lose
The devil and the deep blues

I don't care what they think about it
And I can't think what to do about it
I know that that's not good
I know that that's not good
I know that that's not good
But it's not so bad

He's gone again
And I'm keeping myself company
Playing it cool, so nonchalent
Drowning in late night TV
Trying to tell myself if I was late
He'd be waiting up for me

It's nothing but the devil and the deep blues
Blame it on the devil and the deep blues
Nothing that a girl can do
Nothing that a girl can do
Nothing that a girl can do to lose
The devil and the deep blues
