Better The Devil You Know Lyrics
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
Woah
Say you won't leave me no more
I'll take you back again
No more excuses, no, no
'Cos I heard them all before
A hundred times or more
I'll forgive
And forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know
Woah
Our love wasn't perfect, I know
I think I know the score
If you say you love me, oh boy
I can't ask for more
I'll come if you should call
I'll forgive
And forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know
I'll be here
Every day
Waiting for your love to show
Yes, it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know
Woah
I'll take you back
I'll take you back again
No more excuses, no, no
'Cos I heard them all before
A hundred times or more
I'll forgive
And forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
I'll take you back again
No more excuses, no, no
'Cos I heard them all before
A hundred times or more
And forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know
I think I know the score
If you say you love me, oh boy
I can't ask for more
I'll come if you should call
And forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know
Every day
Waiting for your love to show
Yes, it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know
I'll take you back again
'Cos I heard them all before
A hundred times or more
And forget
If you say you'll never go
'Cos it's true
What they say
It's better the devil you know

The Australian artist Nick Cave said this song contained "one of pop music's most violent and distressing lyrics" and "when Kylie Minogue sings these words, there is an innocence to her that makes the horror of this chilling lyric all the more compelling."
i think this song is about being with a dud guy "I'll forgive and forget" & "I'll take you back I'll take you back again" meaning he has made mistakes before and your just taking him back again, "It's better the devil you know" saying to just stick with what you know than to go off and try different things
HEROIN?
@Aight completely obvious

The above is a great theory...in theory. Can you imagine Pete Waterman writing a song about heroin?
