I Thought I Heard the Devil Laugh


you came to me
golden starlight in your eyes
shimmerin' moon beams in your arms
swearin' you'd always keep me from harm
it started out so full of fun
countless days beneath the sun
then i learned you weren’t so sweet
sometimes you left me feelin’ beat

i thought i heard the devil laugh
could have sworn i heard the devil laugh
and he said, girl, there 'aint no turnin' back
girl, there 'aint no turnin' back

got me a job at Bill's bookstore
then he made me clean the floors
i said, hell, i 'aint goin' back   
i can do me better than that

then i thought i heard the devil laugh
could have sworn i heard the devil laugh
he said girl, there 'aint no turnin' back, girl,
there 'aint  no turnin' back

i don't care about diamond rings
and i don't care if the blue bird sings
i believed in love, i believed in you
your eyes sparkling like a jewel 
left me feelin' like a fool

and i thought i heard the devil laugh 
could have sworn i heard the devil laugh
and he said girl, there 'aint no turnin' back
girl, there 'aint no turnin' back

so i says to the devil, "just go away! come 
ye back another day! you ain't gonna bring me down!
i'll run your butt all over town!"

then i thought i heard the devil laugh
lord, i know i heard the devil laugh
and he said girl, there 'aint no turnin' back,
girl, there 'aint no turnin' back.
