Bruce Robison - Devil May Care lyrics

<b>Devil May Care</b> by <i>Bruce Robison</i><br />The coffee is cold, the story is old,

The letter lies in my hand

The names have been changed,

The words rearranged

My baby left me for another man

My heart should be broken,

My head should be smokin'

My big feet walkin' the floor but I cant find a tear

Now the devil may care but I don't

See I was just readin' 'bout the garden of Eden

Adam he was really in love

They had everything, you could ever dream

And Eve said somehow it just isn't enough

The apple it was picked and then they were evicted

And eve said I need some new clothes

And it's been downhill from there now,

The devil may care but I don't

I'm probably misdirected but a heart must be protected

When angels come down from above

It's highly overrated and it gets so complicated

And I've never been lucky in love

Here is the part where I open my heart,

And tell you where it all went wrong

Yes, there was this girl, she was my whole world

And life was like a silly love song

She said let's be friends, I said define friends

She said I never wanna see you again

And its been downhill from there now

The devil may care but I don't

Anyone will tell you that a broken heart will kill you

When love comes apart at the seams

A girl will say she loves you and she puts no one above

you

And then drop you like a sack full of beans

Well, my friends all remind me that

Love will soon find me

And I hope to heaven it don't

A sad state of affairs now, the devil may care

I'm probably misdirected now, the devil may care

It's all downhill from there, the devil may care

But I don't
