Jimmy Nail - Bitter & Twisted lyrics

The devil walks behind you Sneakin' ever ready to steal your world away No matter what you mean to He'll have you saying things you really should not say It's not that I'm a bad man Had my good intentions just like all the rest But when he gets behind you It's hard to see for real it's hard to know what's best But just 'cause I missed it No need to get all bitter 'n twisted Pocket full of promises But promises don't buy your things or pay your way I had it my palm girl Now there's just an empty hand down there today But just 'cause I missed it No need to get all bitter 'n twisted I said just 'cause I missed it No need to get all bitter 'n twisted I tried to walk the straight line Tried to pa** the swingin' door on my way home I thought about the good things Then I thought about the bad things too and was undone I miss my wife and kids now Miss all the little things we used to do and say The devil walks behind you Sneakin' ever ready to steal your soul away But just 'cause I missed it No need to get all bitter 'n twisted I said just 'cause I missed it No need to get all bitter 'n twisted
