Give the Devil His Due Lyrics

I gotta give the devil his due

For the gifts he's given you

Good Lord, you're quite the sight to see

I gotta give the devil his due

Cause I can't stay away from you

Good Lord, I need your company

Well, baby, did it hurt

When you fell to the earth

An angel sent to love on me

Well, imagine my surprise

When I looked into your eyes

And saw evil staring back at me

I gotta give the devil his due

For the gifts he's given you

Good Lord, you're quite the sight to see

I gotta give the devil his due

Cause I can't stay away from you

Good Lord, I need your company

Well, you act in mysterious ways

I never know what you'll say

Sometimes I'm lost from the start

But when you give me a little smile

And you sit with me a while

The Lord has finally blessed my heart

I gotta give the devil his due

For the gifts he's given you

Good Lord, you're quite the sight to see

I gotta give the devil his due

Cause I can't stay away from you

Good Lord, I need your company

They say to hate the sin

And love the sinner again

Mistakes are never set in stone

So I decided long ago

That the devil that I know

Is better than the angel that I don't

I gotta give the devil his due

For the gifts he's given you

Good Lord, you're quite the sight to see

I gotta give the devil his due

Cause I can't stay away from you

Good Lord, I need your company

I gotta give the devil his due

For the things you put me through

Good Lord, you'll be the death of me
