Nothin' but the devil put me here...
A girl up the stairs, she moved in on the third
I'd introduce myself, but it's going to sound reversed
I think I've got the courage, but then I stall
Perhaps I'll bump into her if I lodger in the hall
I'll watch her through the peephole, I hear her on the stairs
I wait to see her come from work and check the cloth she wears
I'll help her sort the colours down in the launderette
But I haven't figured out when she does her laundry yet
Boy, she put the devil in my heart,
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting, lord
She put the devil in my heart
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting
There's people up the stairs, she's got so many friends
I hear their voices through the wall, it sounds like they're all men
Wud a lovely fella, I think he's gone inside
They're upstairs having curry while I'm in Kentucky fried
I'll make a pretty thriller, perhaps she'll let me in
I'll be her Arthur Miller, she could be my Marylin
But who's this Joe Camaggio, that's comin' up the stairs?
I hope that's just a dude, she's going to meet at Bogey Bear's.
Boy, she put the devil in my heart,
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting, lord
She put the devil in my heart
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting, lord
She put the devil in my heart,
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting, lord
She put the devil in my heart
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting
She's got dirty laundry in the bedroom just above
She's the kind of dream that roommates are made of
She can make the rules and perish the idea
We'll even screw together, would she bring some from Ikea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Boy, she put the devil in my heart,
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting, lord
She put the devil in my heart
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting, lord
She put the devil in my heart,
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting, lord
She put the devil in my heart
Yeah, such a fever that I'm fighting
She give me fever one time (devil in my heart, oh yeah)
She give me fever two times (devil in my heart, oh yeah)
She give me fever three times (devil in my heart, oh yeah)
She give me fever four times
Devil in my heart now, yeah...
