Jimmy Nail Bitter And Twisted lyrics

Devil walks behind you
Sneakin' ever ready to steal your world away
No matter what you mean to
He'll have you saying things you really should not say

It's not that I'm a bad man
Had my good intentions just like all the rest
But when he gets behind you
It's hard to see for real, it's hard to know what's best

Oh, but just 'cause I missed it
No need to get all bitter and twisted

Pocket full of promises
But promise don't buy your things or pay your way
I had it in my palm, girl
And now there's just an empty hand down there today

But just 'cause I missed it
There's no need to get all bitter and twisted
I said, "Just 'cause I missed it
No need to get all bitter and twisted"


I tried to walk the straight line
I've tried to pass the swingin' door on my way home
I thought about the good things
Then I thought about the bad things too and was undone

I miss my wife and kids now
Miss all the little things we used to do and say
Devil walks behind you
Sneakin' ever ready to steal your soul away

Just 'cause I missed it
No need to get all bitter and twisted
See just 'cause I missed it
No need to get all bitter and twisted
No need to get all bitter and twisted

Bitter and twisted
Bitter and twisted
Bitter and twisted
