The Devil Made Me Do It (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1982 Single

All set, court’s in session, this judge have no compassion
Witness show me your right hand, I swear nothing but the truth now

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it
It was the act of a man possessed now
The devil made me do it

Your honour I plead innocent

D.A.’s got a mighty strong case, lawman saw the whole thing
Confess: yeah I stole that furcoat, confess: I stole a BMW

Confess: I was only trying to keep my baby satisfied
Bullshit, well that’s the truth now, bullshit, so help me God

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it
It was the act of a man possessed now
The devil made me do it
Your honour I am innocent, innocent

You should’ve seen her slide out of her neglige
Her skin was hot, touch intoxicating
And if you were me, you would have done the same
So spare me the gutter, save me from the ball and chain

The devil made me do it
It was the act of a man possessed now
The devil made me do it
Your honour I am innocent, innocent
The devil made me do it
It was an act of self defence now
The devil made me do it
Your honour (?) them
The devil made me do it
The devil made me do it
