Eddie Mugavero: music
YOU LOVED THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-sung by Darryl & Don Ellis)
Wrote this in my Music Row office early 90's. I borrowed several lyrics from an earlier song I wrote, "NO MOTIVE FOR YOUR FEARS". Darryl and Don eventually got a deal on CBS and charted several songs. "NO SIR" I believe was their biggest. Not a bad tune. Thanks Na, for typing and being. FN
YOU LOVED THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
I USED TO DRIVE 120 WHILE DEALIN’ 21
AND DRINK A PINT OF WHISKEY CHANGIN’ GEARS
I USED TO DRIVE THE LADIES CRAZY AND MAKE SURE THEY ALL HAD FUN
THEN VANISH LONG BEFORE THE SMOKE GOT CLEARED
I’D BURN A BRIDGE IN WEST VIRGINIA , BREAK A HEART IN CAROLINE
THEN BUST UP A HONKY TONK IN TENNESSEE
WELL, ON MY WAY TO HELL ONE DAY, YOU STOPPED ME JUST IN TIME
YOU LOVED THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
(CHORUS)
YOU LOVED THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
YOU SENT THAT OLD BOY PACKIN’ WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS
YOU WON ME OVER UNDERNEATH YOUR WING
YOU LOVED THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
NO MORE RUNNIN’ LIKE A REBEL, NO MORE RAISIN’ HELL
YOU BROUGHT THIS SINNER TO HIS KNEES
ALL HEAVEN’S BREAKING LOOSE SINCE YOU BROKE THAT DEMON’S SPELL
YOU LOVED THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
(TAG)
I FACED THE LIGHT
I’VE SEEN THE TRUTH
I’LL TASTE NO MORE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
COMPARED TO YOURS AIN’T NOTHIN HALF AS SWEET
YOU LOVED THE DEVIL OUT OF ME
