Mike Ness - The Devil in Miss Jones lyrics

rate me

The days of wine and roses

Were a long time ago

The proms, teenage cruisin'

And the picture show

You tried so hard

To fix your outsides

Until you realized that I took

Everything dear inside

Chorus

Give me your heart

Give me your soul

I'll take you when you're young

The devil in Miss Jones

Your daddy had a funny way

Of showing you his love

It's a shame you've hid well

From the Lord up above

There's something inside

That burns like a fire

And you realize you've been blessed

With a wild desire

Repeat Chorus

Your parochial background

Vanished in the wind

Perhaps a pornographic future

And a million dollar friend

You tried so hard to always be the one

You're loved by all men, but respected by handgun

Repeat Chorus

I'll take you when you're young

And I'll leave you when you're old
