My Little Demon Lyrics

My little demon, comin'on down.
My little demon's turnin' me around.
all of my friends keep on tellin'me
that I just ain't the man I used to be.
I really don't like it...ain't nothing I can do.
I really don't like it...I'm leaving it to you.
My little demon, making me choose.
Making me an offer I can't refuse.
Hard as a rock,dry as a bone...
Big or little,know that I will take you home.
I really don't like it...ain't nothin'I can do.
I really don't like it...I'm leaving it to you.
Why try to hide it?
Fight it...fight it!
I really don't like it...ain't nothin'I can do.
I really don't like it...I'm leaving it to you.
My little demon is coming after me.
My little demon...
It's all that I can do to keep that little demon...
To keep that little demon...
Just to keep that little demon away from you!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

And we're sure this song isn't about a penis? It's definitely about sexual temptation, but I think the demon is quite literally a penis.

This song is about the 'inner demons' that we all struggle with through our day-to-day lives. It's a really positive song with a great message. Also, it seems to be quite likely about drug addiction and the fight to resist.

I agree with everything said about this song except the drug addiction part. I really don't associate this song with drugs, but it is definatly about fighting your inner demons which could be just about anything.

I agree that it is about fighting your inner demons, but something in the lyrics tells me it's about resisting sex, particularly the line "...know that I will take yu home". But I think the above two interpretations are equally valid.
