Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

Madonna · Hard Candy [2008]

As quiet as it is tonight

You'd almost think you were saved

Your eyes are full of surprises

They cannot predict my fate

Waiting underneath the stars

There's something you should know

The angels they surround my heart

Telling me to let you go



I barely couldn't

I barely couldn't recognize but I've been hidin' to it

Who am I to criticize

Somehow I'll get through it and you won't even realize

Falling through your own disguise



It's like over and over

You're pushing me right down to the floor

I should just walk away

Over and over I keep on coming back for more

I play into your fantasy

Now that it's over

You can't lie to me right through your smile

I see behind your eyes

Now I'm sober

No more intoxicating my mind



Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

I do, I do



You almost proved yourself this time

That all the saints be praised

You hide your sadness behind your smile

And you keep your lost heartbreaks

The steps that are just on the ledge

Is much higher than it seems

That I've been on that ledge before

You can't hide yourself from me



I barely couldn't

I barely couldn't recognize, I still play bad to it

Who am I to criticize

Somehow I'll get through it and you won't even realize

Falling for your own disguise



It's like over and over

You're pushin' me right down to the floor

I should just walk away

Over and over I keep on coming back for more

I play into your fantasy

Now that it's over

You can't lie to me right through your smile

I see behind your eyes

Now I'm sober

No more intoxicating my mind



Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

I do, I do



It's like over and over

You're pushin' me right down to the floor

I should just walk away

Over and over I keep on coming back for more

I play into your fantasy

Now that it's over

You can't lie to me right through your smile

I see behind your eyes

Now I'm sober

No more intoxicating my mind



Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, I do

I do, I do



Even the devil wouldn't recognize you
