Devil's Got My Woman
Andrew Combs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She just lays in bed, covers her head, wasting the days away
We used to be so happy, making love the afternoon
And now the devil's got my woman and I got the no loving blues
I remember, no I won't forget when her kisses were so sweet
She weren't ashamed just to call my name, throw all her lovin' on me
We used to really be something, living like there's nothing to lose
I ain't done a thing this morning, except sit and cry
Outside the doorway, counting the reasons why
My body's shaking, my body's aching
My heart is broken, bruised
Because the devil's got my woman and I got no loving blues
I said the devil's got my woman and I got no loving blues
I said the devil's got my woman and I got no loving blues
