Lyrics That Ole Devil Called Love - Billie Holiday

That Ole Devil Called Love

Putting rain in my eyes
tears in my dreams
and rocks in my heart.
It’s that sly old sun of a gun again
He keeps telling me that I’m the lucky one again
But I still have that rain
still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart.
S’pose I didn’t stay
ran away
wouldn’t play
The devil
what a potion he would brew?
He’d follow me around
build me up
tear me down
Till I’d be so bewildered
I wouldn’t know what to do.
Might as well give up that fight again
I know darn well he’ll convince me that he’s right again.
When he sings that sorry song I’m just gonna tag along
With that ole devil called love.
He’d follow me around
build me up
tear me down
With that ole devil called love.
