We were sitting in the back seat of your Chevy Cavalier 

 Tom Petty on the stereo, you whispering in my ear

 talking words about forever

 I said I don't know what that means

 you know I wasn't lying, I was only 17

 but my heart grew up around you like a tree grows through a fence

 and I learned everything that I knew in the hours that we spent

 just trying to fit ourselves together

 like the lovers on TV

 making promises we thought that we could keep

Now if the Devil ain't a woman then the heart ain't a deep blue sea

and if you didn't see it coming

I guess you're 'bout as blind as you can be/ I guess you never really looked

at me

You can cuss and call me names and I won't say your aim ain't true/ you say I

wrecked you when I left and I confess that's what I was trying to do

but remember the Devil had to fall once too

 Your mother stood there crying as we said our wedding vows

 but you couldn't wait a week before you started stepping out

 and our bills went unpaid, and our bed grew cold

 you could have made a book out of the stories that you told

 I said you know I'd never ask you to be something you're not

 but that's your seventh whiskey and it ain't even six o'clock

 now I may burn if I go and leave you here this way

 but I'm gonna freeze if I stay

Now if the Devil ain't a woman then the heart ain't a deep blue sea

and if you didn't see it coming

I guess you're 'bout as blind as you can be/ I guess you never really looked

at me

You can cuss and call me names and I won't say your aim ain't true/ you say I

wrecked you when I left and I confess that's what I was trying to do

but remember the Devil had to fall once too

 I was standing on the dance floor

 you were singing with the band

 when that ring slipped off my finger into a stranger's hand

 and you said what happened to forever, as your eyes were flashing green

 I said I thought I told you baby, I just don't know what that means

 even though I love you still

 you son of a bitch I probably always will

 but all those nights I spent alone

 I was just learning from the only love I've known

Now if the Devil ain't a woman then the heart ain't a deep blue sea

and if you didn't see it coming

I guess you're 'bout as blind as you can be/ I guess you never really looked

at me

You can cuss and call me names and I won't say your aim ain't true/ you say I

wrecked you when I left and I confess that's what I was trying to do

but remember the Devil had to fall once too
