When The Devil Gets The Best Of Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes whiskey, sometimes pills
The silly things I need to get my thrills
Sometimes women are like cocaine
Got to have 'em more and more every day
[Chorus:]
Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be
Tell me why can't I see
when the devil gets the best of me
I've left heartaches thought they'd mend
I know how to lose some real good friends
I get angry, I stay mad
Can't get happy with this life I have
[Chorus:]
Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be
Tell me why can't I see
when the devil gets the best of me
Now I'm a little wiser than I was back then
But still I'm stumblin' every day
Trying to walk a little straighter
Trying to find a way to forgive
[Chorus:]
Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be
Tell me why can't I see
when the devil gets the best of me
[Chorus:]
Yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like I ought to be
Tell me why can't I see
when the devil gets the best of me
Tell me why can't I see
when the devil gets the best of me
