Go on girl take your chances
                                     
See how long you can go on from man to man
                                        
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
                                         
And I know it's time to fold this loosing hand
                                                  
Cause you're drawn to the flame by the thrill and the shame
                                          
Of the cheatin' game they taught you how to play
                                           
You've got nothing to lose but your soul girl
                   
And you've only the devil to pay

'You've been flying so high you don't know
                         
That you're blind to the writin' on the wall
         
But some day you'll look down
                                       
And you'll find you've got no place to fall
                                              
When the bright lights're gone you'll be standing alone
                             
Forsaken in the naked light of day
                                               
Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying
                        
And you've still got the devil to pay

Join your friends while you got 'em
                                         
Cause you know they're gettin' fewer every day
                                          
You can't wait to let them take you to the bottom
                                         
And I'm gettin' tired of standin' in your way
                                           
But when you hit the ground don't come looking around
                     
For the pieces of the love you threw away
                                             
That's the price of the high life you're livin'
                     
And you still got the devil to pay
