Not the Devil yet

So, I looked at her, and explained quickly
(quickly was the mistake, what gave it away)
That this guy she once loved was in bed
With this new girl, crazy under the sheets
It made crazy get under her skin, and I knew it.
The problem was I said it fast – a reaction –
It came too soon to be truth and she knew it.
This girl was a liar too, which made it hard to
Slip stuff past her, she called me out and kept
Tellin’ me to “qwit lion!” just like that with
A smile, like the whole world was just a joke.
And I did stop telling all those lies for a little bit.
Or at least, I toned it down some to suit her.
That is, until she started in on my heart.

I never know what to do with you,
But I have friends in low places too.
