Pretty little devil
Eddie Cochran · Guitar Picker: Rare Recordings 1954-1960 [2007]
And I would do just about anything that you wanted me to
I never dreamed I'd meet a girl that's half as sweet
As you turned out to be, now you're getting a hold on me
Oh-oh-oh, I never knew such a pretty little devil as you
And I would do just about anything that you wanted me to
I'll have to play it cool 'cause you're nobody's fool
And hope that I'm just smart enough to win your heart
Oh-oh-oh, I never knew such a pretty little devil as you
And I would do just about anything that you wanted me to
Oh-oh-oh, I never knew such a pretty little devil as you
And I would do just about anything that you wanted me to
Some say you're fast and wild
But with me you're sweet and mild
But I will not complain if you promise to stay the same
Oh-oh-oh, I never knew such a pretty little devil as you
And I would do just about anything that you wanted me to
Pretty Little Devil
