[Verse 1]
I saw you dancin' in the back room
You went off like a smokin' gun
Right then and there, I knew that I could never ever be the one
So now I'm fadin' in the distance
Ridin' a horse without a name
They told me, "You should keep your friends real close
But enemies on tighter reins"

[Chorus]
I could feel the thunder deep in your heart
Maybe it's not safe here lyin' in your arms
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know, ah

[Drop]
Bettеr the devil you know
Bettеr the devil you know
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know

[Verse 2]
I hear you callin' after midnight
Our bodies tangled like the desert winds
You think I'm blinded by your love
But I see all the lies you're hidin' in, ah
[Chorus]
I could feel the thunder deep in your heart
Maybe it's not safe here lyin' in your arms
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know, ah

[Drop]
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know

[Bridge]
I ain't no angel, I've tasted sin
I've been unfaithful and made my peace within
For all the lovers that I hurt, I guess I get what I deserve
Ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

[Drop]
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
You're bad deep down to your bones, but
It's better the devil you know
