Lyrics

The Devil in My Ear
(Tani)

There’s a pay phone in the hall
Just like there is on every floor
I hear it ringing through the wall
Then there’s a banging on my door

Somebody yells the call’s for me
And I set down this glass of gin
I’ve got a feeling — Yes siree
Trouble’s calling me again

Chorus
She’s pouring honey in my ear
Sweet little lies I love to hear
I’m gonna do things I’ll regret
Gonna give more than I get
And watch my money disappear

My common sense should interfere
But she’s sounding so sincere
I’ll forget what’s right from wrong
When I hear that siren’s song
From the devil in my ear

I check just how much cash I’ve got
To see how much I’m gonna lose
I know it’s all gonna get shot
On shootin’ dice and shots of booze

Why can’t I learn from my mistakes
I’m so sure that I want to
Not when they’re so much fun to make
And I’ve so many left to do
