[Verse 1]
Met him on a bar stool where he
Never let a glass go empty
Could've been the water or whisky
That pretty little woman, oh, from Tennessee
What's going down, down, down, down?

[Verse 2]
Fell in love so quick
She didn't even notice the switch
When it comes down to it
That woman made a mistake when she fell for him
Going down, down, down, down

[Chorus]
Madeline, leave him behind
He ain't no good
And he'll bleed you dry
Madeline, I hate to see you cry
Let go, he's a different kind of devil
Pray that you let go
He's a a different kind of devil, devil
Pray that you let go

[Verse 3]
Always had a tongue behind teeth
Never wanted anyone to see
Wanna become the dream
Oh it all fell back into the memories
[Verse 4]
"Don't you hear them talking?" she says
Staying on the side of the bed
When you see the skies under-dressed
The whole thing's gonna end up
Alright, alright
Madeline, Madeline
You'll be fine, if you run for your life
Run for your life, run for your life
Oh

[Chorus]
Madeline, leave him behind
He ain't no good
And he'll bleed you dry
Madeline, I hate to see you cry
Let go, he's a different kind of devil
Pray that you let go
He's a different kind of devil, devil
Pray that you let go
