Dance With The Devil
Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams
About all the love that he wished he could send
I said buy me a pint it will be alright in the end
He don't like to fight 'cos he thinks he's too pretty
He's misunderstood and he just needs a friend
I said give me a light it will be alright in the end
He's finished with his mission
Like to square it with god if he gets permission
He sold his soul to Bill Gates
And he don't feel alright 'cos the money was shite
And it's all so sad
I danced with the devil he told me a story
About all the love that he wished he could send
I said buy me a pint it will be alright in the end
He granted me three wishes
Said I just need clean clothes and can you do the dishes
He don't get on with Judas
He's been to rehab couldn't pay his bar tab
And it's all so sad
I danced with the devil he told me a story
About all the love that he wished he could send
I said buy me a pint it will be alright in the end
