[Intro]
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
[Verse 1]

I'll take you back again
No more excuses, no, no
'Cause I heard them all before
A hundred times or more
[Chorus]
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cause it's true what they say
It's better the devil you know
[Verse 2]
Our love wasn't perfect, I know

You say you love me, oh boy
I can't ask for more
I'll come if you should call

I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go

It's better the devil you know
I'll be here every day
Waiting for your love to show
Yes, it's true what they say
It's better the devil you know

No more excuses no, no
'Cause I heard them all before
A hundred times or more
[Chorus]
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cause it's true what they say
It's better the devil you know
I'll be here every day
Waiting for your love to show
Yes, it's true what they say, yeah
It's better the devil you know
I'll forgive and forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cause it's true what they say
It's better the devil you know
