The Devil’s Part Songtext
von All Our Exes Live in Texas

Oo-ooh ooh
Oo-ooh ooh
Oo-ooh ooh ooh...

I′m sorry, darling
But I will not let you win
I have seen this before
And I'm still recovering

But I took his trembling hands
I led them to my skin
They twisted ′round my heart
And let the dark right in

So he came to me one night
To tell me he is not alone
He's carrying that girl
Who had left him on his own

She opened up his skin
She lives inside his heart
And he is scratching, begging
For her to depart


Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I'm down on my knees

Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil′s part

So he shot his words like arrows
But they hit me as would stone
He led me out of town to tell me
I would die alone

′Cause in my years of 25
I gave a fool my heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part

Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I′m down on my knees


Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part

The devil′s part, ha!
The devil's part, ha!
The devil′s part, ha!
The devil's part

The devil's part...

I could say I learnt a lesson
That I won′t repeat again
With every passing year
I learned to bury sin

But I′m older now, truth be told
I've fallen right apart
Now I spend the last days burning
Paper through my heart

Oh, my darling
You, you are not what I need
I pray to mother
My God, I′m down on my knees

Please, my love
Please my open heart
Please take forgiveness, mother
I played the devil's part...
