Lyrics
You've got the devil in you baby,
I can see in your eyes.
You think love is a game,
and you play it with lies.
You'll say you're gonna love a guy forever,
then you break his heart,
we'll I'll bet you think you're clever!
I said No! Don't tell me baby,
I know all about you!
I said No! Don't tell me baby,
'cause I know those things you do!
You're gonna tell me
just how much you think I'm grand,
And then you'll tell me
how I'll be your lovin' man.
You're gonna say how things'll be fine,
The way you break hearts,
well I think it's a crime!
I said No! Don't tell me baby
I know all about you.
I said No! Don't tell me baby
'cause I know those things you do!
