The Devil Made Me Do It Lyrics

All set, court’s in session
This judge’s got no compassion
Witness, show me your right hand
I swear, nothing but the truth now
I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong
The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh ,oh
It was an act of a man possessed
The devil made me do it
Your honour, I’m innocent
D.A’s, got a mighty strong case
Lawman, saw the whole thing
Confess, yeah I stole that fur coat
Confess, yeah I stole a BMW
Confess, I was only trying
to keep my baby satisfied
Bullshit, that’s the truth now
Bullshit, so help me God
You should have seen her slide
out of her neglige
Her skin was hot touch intoxicating
and if you were me
you would have done the same
So spare me the gutter
Save me from the ball and chain

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.
