Dancing with the Devil Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wide awake at 2 A.M
Think I’m losing who I am
Why you keep on choosing them
When all I'm tryna do is make sure you got a nice bed and welcoming arms to come home to
But time and time and time again
You’re only here every now and then
When's it gonna end?
[Pre-Chorus]
People say I'm all the kinds of crazy 'cause I’m crazy for you
They say, "How you love a ghost you can’t touch?"
They ain’t wrong but, I just love you too much
So go and call a GP
Baby say I’m too freaky
[Hook]
Oh my god, I’m so gone
I'm dancing with the devil with my high heels on, on
Unapologetic 'bout it
'Cause the lovin' so good, though i know baby’s no good
Yeah the lovin' so good, if I could stop it, I would
Yeah the lovin' so good 'cause we up to no good
But the lovin' so good
Wide awake at 2 A.M
Think I’m losing who I am
Why you keep on choosing them
When all I'm tryna do is make sure you got a nice bed and welcoming arms to come home to
But time and time and time again
You’re only here every now and then
When's it gonna end?
[Pre-Chorus]
People say I'm all the kinds of crazy 'cause I’m crazy for you
They say, "How you love a ghost you can’t touch?"
They ain’t wrong but, I just love you too much
So go and call a GP
Baby say I’m too freaky
[Hook]
Oh my god, I’m so gone
I'm dancing with the devil with my high heels on, on
Unapologetic 'bout it
'Cause the lovin' so good, though i know baby’s no good
Yeah the lovin' so good, if I could stop it, I would
Yeah the lovin' so good 'cause we up to no good
But the lovin' so good
[Verse 2]
The other day your mama called
She told me all in all
I was the best you’ll ever have
You won’t commit a crime bigger than givin' me up
And I know that she ain't wrong
And I know someday a better man will come along
But your lips got me sayin' "Let bygones be bygones"
I don’t wanna fucking move on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Boy, why am I so crazy for you?
You’re so talented in not comin' home
But if it ain’t you, I’d rather be alone
SOS situation
Can’t say no to temptation
[Hook]
Oh my god, I’m so gone
I'm dancing with the devil with my high heels on, on
Unapologetic 'bout it
'Cause the lovin' so good, though I know baby’s no good
Yeah the lovin' so good, if I could stop it, I would
Yeah the lovin' so good, 'cause we up to no good
But the lovin' so good
The other day your mama called
She told me all in all
I was the best you’ll ever have
You won’t commit a crime bigger than givin' me up
And I know that she ain't wrong
And I know someday a better man will come along
But your lips got me sayin' "Let bygones be bygones"
I don’t wanna fucking move on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Boy, why am I so crazy for you?
You’re so talented in not comin' home
But if it ain’t you, I’d rather be alone
SOS situation
Can’t say no to temptation
[Hook]
Oh my god, I’m so gone
I'm dancing with the devil with my high heels on, on
Unapologetic 'bout it
'Cause the lovin' so good, though I know baby’s no good
Yeah the lovin' so good, if I could stop it, I would
Yeah the lovin' so good, 'cause we up to no good
But the lovin' so good

This song is about when I fall into someone’s charm, willingly knowing it’s wrong, but they had me going so much I didn’t wanna be right. Sultry summer night shit, can’t go wrong.
