Tami Neilson - Same Old Devil

{Verse 1}
He walked in like a tomcat lookin' for prey
All trouble and muscle and sly
He was a bad boy, James Dean, drove up on a Harley
He could spot a sucker at a hundred miles
He'd say he was lonely, oh if he could only
Find love he would change his ways
He take her heart of gold and her big bank roll
Same old devil, different face

{Verse 2}
He was sweet as his Mama's apple pie
Long and tall and tight blue jeans
He'd hold the door open, all the while hopin'
He could get himself a hot little lovin' piece
He was lookin' for a sweet deal
Didn't want the whole meal
Just wanted a little taste
With every girl in sight, those county lines
That same old devil, different face

{Chorus}
Well, I'll escape hellfire
Hire me a choir, do whatever it takes
I'm gonna call on Jesus
Get down on my knees
Pray, "Lord have mercy, keep the devil away"
If he comes knockin' around my door
I'll be singin' Amazing Grace
'Cause any shape or size I'd recognise
That same old devil, different face

{Verse 3}
He was slick as a suit in a jet black Jag
Faster than a New York minute
Big shot man, as fake as his tan
But even plastic surgery couldn't change his image
He swaggered and he slithered with the cocktail crowd
Dealin' business cards all over the place
Buyin' drinks for the ladies
Callin' everybody, "Baby"
Same old devil, different face

{Chorus}
Oh, I'll escape hellfire
Hire me a choir, do whatever it takes
I'm gonna call on Jesus
Get down on my knees
Pray, "Lord have mercy, keep the devil away"
If he comes knockin' around my door
I'll be singin' Amazing Grace
'Cause any shape or size I'd recognise
That same old devil, different face
That same old devil, just a different face, yeah
He's just the same old devil, sister
