[Intro – Pulsing bass, finger snaps, distant soulful harmonies] Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah, yeah I got a devil in my head And she sounds just like you [Verse 1 – Low, smoky, rhythmic male vocal] Three in the morning, staring at the ceiling Got a little whiskey, got a bad feeling Phone on the table, lighting up the room I don't even look, I already know it's you I changed the locks, I changed my number Tried to put a thousand miles between us But every time I think I'm getting somewhere I hear your voice coming out of nowhere [Pre-Chorus – Rising tension, punchy drums enter] I know better, I know better But I never do Every road that leads to freedom Turns around to you [Chorus – Explosive raspy soul vocal, driving funky bass] I got a devil in my head Dancing where the angels used to live Telling me to call you up again Like I got something left to give Oh, I know you're no good for me But I can't get you out of my bloodstream I keep running, but I wind up back in bed With that devil in my head Oh-oh, oh-oh That devil in my head Oh-oh, oh-oh And she sounds just like you [Verse 2 – Groovy electric guitar, thick bassline] I see your face in a crowded bar In the back of a cab, in a passing car Every little song that comes on the radio Takes me somewhere I don't wanna go My friends keep saying that I'm doing better They don't know I still got your sweater Hanging in the closet like a loaded gun One little touch and I'm back at square one [Pre-Chorus – Gritty vocal build, backing harmonies] I know better, I know better But I never learn Every bridge I build to leave you Is another bridge I burn [Chorus – Full band, huge soulful hook] I got a devil in my head Dancing where the angels used to live Telling me to call you up again Like I got something left to give Oh, I know you're no good for me But I can't get you out of my bloodstream I keep running, but I wind up back in bed With that devil in my head Oh-oh, oh-oh That devil in my head Oh-oh, oh-oh And she sounds just like you [Post-Chorus – Infectious bass groove, layered vocal hook] Get out, get out But don't you leave me now Get out, get out I keep turning back around [Bridge – Instrumentation drops, exposed emotional vocal] Maybe it ain't you that's haunting me Maybe it's the man I used to be Maybe I just miss the way it hurt 'Cause being alone feels so much worse And I swear to God, I swear I'm done Then I hear your voice and come undone [Final Chorus – Huge drums, soaring high notes, gospel harmonies] I GOT A DEVIL IN MY HEAD! Dancing where the angels used to live Telling me to call you up again Like I got something left to give Oh, I KNOW YOU'RE NO GOOD FOR ME! But I can't get you out of my bloodstream I keep running, but I wind up back in bed With that devil in my head! [Final Post-Chorus – Driving bass, soulful ad-libs] Get out, get out But don't you leave me now Get out, get out I keep turning back around Oh-oh, oh-oh That devil in my head [Outro – Bass and drums cut, intimate raspy vocal] I got a devil in my head... And she sounds just like you.
