He Married the Devil, Then He Married Me
By Jackie Richter and Stan Good
One FINE day I met a poor soul
Told ME how his ex- was way outta-control
'Ended up head over heels in-love
He SAYS I WAS HIS angel sent from above
Was ON Friday Thirteenth, the day THEY'D wed
Mornin'-After, wished he was dead
He'd lost his judgement 'cuz he was drunk
& woulda been happier, hitched-a-skunk
(CH)
Took a good lawyer to set him free
HE MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
Nightly-NOW he thanks God on-bended-knees
HE MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
I'm sweet-as-honey, an EVEN-TASTIER lover
She's BAD-WINE-BITTER, LOOKS OLDER THAN her mother
'Calls me a wench, & AN EVIL-DOER
But he calls me his baby & his rescuer
She WAS yellIN' at him all-day-long
PiercIN' words like pitchforks, sharp-&-strong
He says it was like Heaven when I caught his eye
& Hell IS ALL-HERS, since he said goodbye
(CH)
Took a good lawyer to set him free
HE MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
'Went from FIRE-&-BRIMSTONE to SERENETY
HE MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
MARRIED THE DEVIL THEN HE MARRIED ME
(BR)
(NOW) Love can be bitter, Love can be sweet
IT ALL depends on Who-You-Meet...
(SOLO TIME)
(He) Still looks over his shoulder like something's there
COULD BE her castIN' a shadow like a grizzly bear
& EVERY full Moon Y'MIGHT hear her growl
But he DON'T WORRY 'cuz he's got me now
(CH)
Took a good lawyer to set him free
HE MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
THIS IS ONE LOVE-STORY ENDS-HAPPILY
HE MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
MARRIED THE DEVIL, THEN HE MARRIED ME
(& maybe HERE:)
Nah Nah Nah Nah..Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah..Nah
Nah Nah Nah Naa..NAH..Nah--
