[Verse 1]
She’s a red-lip promise
In a backroom haze
Leather on my conscience
Got me falling from grace
Every time I swear I’m done
She’s standing in the doorway
Smiling
One look at me and the halo’s gone
She loves the way I keep backsliding
[Pre-Chorus]
Every wrong turn
She’s right there
Laughing while I crash and burn
Like she planned it
[Chorus]
I’m the Devil’s favorite fool
She’s the Devil’s favorite girl (oh yeah)
Every bad decision
Spins me deeper in her world
From the smoke-filled nights
To the half-truth lies
I keep crawling back for more
She’s the reason for my ruin
Every sin I can’t ignore
Every scar
Every fall
Every curse I hurl
Leads back to the Devil’s favorite girl (hey!)
Leads back to the Devil’s favorite girl
[Verse 2]
She’s a late night number
On my cracked-up phone
I know I shouldn’t answer
But I hate being alone
She says
“Baby
One last time”
And I’m speeding through the red lights
By the time the sun comes clawing in
I’m another wreck in her headlights
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bad choice
Got her name
Branded like a bruise and voice
I can’t silence
[Chorus]
I’m the Devil’s favorite fool
She’s the Devil’s favorite girl (oh yeah)
Every bad decision
Spins me deeper in her world
From the torn-up cash
To the stolen nights
I keep knocking on her door
She’s the reason for my ruin
What my weary soul is for
Every dare
Every drink
Every twisted whirl
Leads back to the Devil’s favorite girl (whoa)
Leads back to the Devil’s favorite girl
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m addicted
To the way she says my name
Maybe I’m convicted
But I’d do it all the same
If heaven’s any higher
I don’t wanna know
I’m dancing on the wire
And I won’t let go (won’t let go)
[Chorus]
I’m the Devil’s favorite fool
She’s the Devil’s favorite girl (favorite girl)
Every bad decision
Is a diamond on her pearl
From the broken vows
To the blacked-out fights
I keep begging her for more
She’s the reason for my ruin
She’s the sin I’m living for
Every scar
Every fall
Every curse I hurl
Leads back to the Devil’s favorite girl (yeah!)
Leads back to the Devil’s favorite girl
Leads back to the Devil’s favorite girl
