[Intro — slow rolling bass, sparse percussion] You’ve heard about me. Mostly from people who wanted something. [Beat enters] [Verse 1] They dress me up in fire, give me horns and give me blame. Makes it easier to sleep when evil has a name. But I don’t need the shadows. I do better in the light. Tailored black. A quiet smile. A reservation every night. [Pre-Chorus] I never make you take the drink. I only pour. Never make you cross the line. I hold the door. [Chorus] Have a little sympathy for the devil in the room. I don't need to tempt you, darling. You already know what you want to do. I just make it look expensive. Make the wrong thing feel refined. You can blame me in the morning. Tonight— the choice is yours, not mine. [Bass-heavy instrumental groove] [Verse 2] Everybody wants forgiveness before they've even had their fun. Everybody loves temptation when they think they're not the one. I’ve watched saints become dishonest over far less than a kiss. Funny what a little wanting can convince you that you miss. [Pre-Chorus] I never whisper in your ear. You lean near. Never tell you not to leave. You stay here. [Chorus] Have a little sympathy for the devil in the room. I don't need to tempt you, darling. You already know what you want to do. I just make it look expensive. Make the wrong thing feel refined. You can blame me in the morning. Tonight— the choice is yours, not mine. [Instrumental — smooth bass, low synth, restrained violin] [Bridge — intimate, almost spoken] People give me too much credit. Honestly. You'd be amazed how little I have to do. A glance. A glass. A door left open. And suddenly— it's all my fault. [Beat strips to bass only] Convenient. [Beat returns] [Verse 3] You can call desire a weakness. You can dress regret as shame. You can put the whole damn evening underneath somebody else's name. But I was never in your bloodstream. Never living in your head. I just gave you somewhere beautiful to do what you already said. [Final Chorus] Have a little sympathy for the devil in the room. No red eyes. No smoke. No fire. Just good taste and better perfume. I don't make your bad decisions. I just make them feel divine. So enjoy me while you have me. Then blame me— if it helps you sleep at night. [Final bass groove] [Outro] They’ll tell you I’m the reason. Let them. We both know better.
