When I was a child a story was told About the devil and a girl, oh, so bold He offered her riches, a fortune of gold And lovers abound, but she lifted
Today I'll crawl out of bed I can't stand your shadow Is too heavy to lift Maybe we'll go for a ride You said, you'd take me nowhere I said, "That suits
You said to write you a song So here, this is for you Now as you toss through those lonely nights Just know there is someone thinking of you Everyone
You could go anywhere, anytime and find someone But how will you know if he's kind The sun is out but happiness Only reminds you of the people you hurt
