Tried to be good, tried to be nice
Tried to be everything that I know was right
But I get mixed up, what I hear from
The eager little devil whisperin' in my ear
I got a devil on my shoulder, yeah-yeah
He ain't going away
I got a devil on my shoulder
And he just won't let me be
Uh ah aah
Swing in my bunk, burn my dog
He makes me drive real fast, roll and rock
Stay out late, smoke and drink
Dang little devil gonna be the enemy
I got a devil on my shoulder, yeah-yeah
He ain't going away
I got a devil on my shoulder
And I think he's here to stay
Uh ah aah
Listen honey. I'm warnin' you
You might get burned by the things I do
Let's hug and a-kiss and I feel nice
Baby make me run off with the very next guy
I got a devil on my shoulder, yeah yeah
He ain't going away
I got a devil on my shoulder
And he just won't let me be
Uh ah aah
Swing in my bunk, burn my dog
He makes me drive real fast, roll and rock
Stay out late, smoke and drink
Dang little devil gonna be the enemy
I got a devil on my shoulder, yeah-yeah
He ain't going away
I got a devil on my shoulder
And I think he's here to stay
Uh ah aah, c'mon devil!
Well, he's a mean mean mean little devil
Mean mean mean little devil
Mean mean mean little devil
Mean mean mean little devil
He's a mean little devil, but I like him just that way
