[verse] You came in snakeskin boots Tapped my floor at dawn You kissed me like a promise Then the daylight was gone You wore my old hard luck Like it fit you just right Said, “Darlin’, keep on loving me” And you stole my night [Pre‑Chorus] Now my knees get weak When you say my name One hand on my heart One hand on the flame [Chorus] Love and the devil They dance in my chest Love and the devil Ain’t no peace, ain’t no rest (ain’t no rest) I want your kiss But I fear your grin Love and the devil Got me born again [Verse 2] I found your ring on the table Next to a blackened match You left a trail of trouble And I followed that My mama said “Run now” My heart said “Stay” I heard your boots on the stairs Like a judgment day [Pre‑Chorus] Now my knees get weak When you say my name One hand on my heart One hand on the flame [Chorus] Love and the devil They dance in my chest Love and the devil Ain’t no peace, ain’t no rest (ain’t no rest) I want your kiss But I fear your grin Love and the devil Got me born again [Bridge] If I pray for a rescue Will you laugh in the night? If I close both my eyes Will you still hold tight? You’re a holy kind of trouble A sweet, dark sign I been losing to you Since the first damn time [Chorus] Love and the devil They dance in my chest Love and the devil Ain’t no peace, ain’t no rest (ain’t no rest) I want your kiss But I fear your touch Love and the devil Got me born again Love and the devil I can’t let you go Love and the devil You’re the hurt I know (oh, I know) I want your kiss But I fear your grin Love and the devil Got me born again
