when the devil gets the best of me

sometimes whiskey

sometimes pills

the silly things i need to get my thrills

sometimes women are like cocaine

got to have 'em more and more every day

yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like i ought to be

tell me why can't i see

when the devil gets the best of me

i've left heartaches thought they'd mend

i know how to lose some real good friends

i get angry

i stay mad

can't get happy with this life i have

yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like i ought to be

tell me why can't i see

when the devil gets the best of me

now i'm a little wiser than i was back then

but still i'm stumblin' every day

trying to walk a little straighter

trying to find a way to forgive

yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like i ought to be

tell me why can't i see

when the devil gets the best of me

yeah the man in the mirror ain't no man like i ought to be

tell me why can't i see

when the devil gets the best of me

tell me why can't i see

when the devil gets the best of me
