I've got a devil on one shoulder
and another on the other
Baby, I try to be good
but it's so so hard
with these devils of mine
jabbering all the time
One whispers in my ear
for me to do wrong
and the other one, Lordy
it cheers it on
it cheers it on
I listen for an angel
but she's been gone
gone a long long time, baby
and I don't believe
she's ever coming back
home
home
All of my sin
must've drove her away
must've drove her away
just like you say I'm doing to you
I know you speak the truth, baby
but the devils got me tied
up in lies
But, baby, if you could love a devil
just a little
I could take the heat, 'cause
Heaven knows,
burnt sugar is so sweet.

A delightfully wicked love song!
Your closing is brilliant and I love the tone! Thank you for the challenge Lolamouse!
Ah.. love the closing.. the burnt sugar works so great here..
Now, that you've written the song, sing it! Brilliant!
reminds me of Jonatha Brooke's song, Taste of Danger. cool, LM ~
the tiny devils are truly, we.
for human foibles make us this and we are nothing more or nothing less than this. but when all is said and done these little devils are you and me.
sweet, mi amiga
Loved the poem, esp. the final notion:'burnt sugar is so sweet.' ~ Thanks.
Delightfully wicked!
Delicious and sinfully sweet! :D
