I Must Be The Devil

The Box Tops


I feel low as I can go 
I can't show... nor let go... 
I feel that... 
I feel that... 
I feel that, now, I must be the Devil, baby 
Whoa, better not let me catch onto you 
Whoa, you better not let me, darling 
Aw-w-w, I'll drag you down into this old hole 
Mama don't want to see you down there, too 
Uh-uh, no she don't, now 

Well, I can't stop this evil feel 
Do you want to make a deal? 
I can't stop... 
I can't stop... 
I can't stop now; I must be the Devil, baby 
Whoa, don't make no deals with me 
Whoa, you don't want to make no deals, no you don't now 
I've got a long list of broken souls 
Well, it stretches far as your little eyes can see 
Uh-huh, yes it do now 

(instrumental) 

Well I can't bear to see my face 
Wrong's done I can't erase 
It's all wrong... 
It's all wrong... 
It's all wrong, now. Oh God! I must be the Devil, baby 
Or I must just be out of my head 
Oh yes, I must be out of my head, now 
Well, I just don't seem to know, no more... 
Whoa God... 
Whoa God, you know... 
Oh God... 
I wish I was dead 
I wish I was, I really do
