Well when the devil starts crying cause he's lonely
He's just tryin' to make you feel sorry
I say it's not your problem you can solve
You've got enough of your own
Well he's got no business stirring you up
Don't you know that you're just a stop along the way
He's got you thinking you can save him and change his luck
Well I don't want you to go to him
Well the heart of a jealous man is so dark
He's got no light to see
I think it's time to get this house in order
You better stop what you're doin' and get on over
Well he's got no business...
[ guitar ]
Well he's got no business...
Well when the devil starts crying...
Well he's got no business...
Well I don't want you to go to him
I don't want you to go to him
