Bitter & Twisted Lyrics - Crocodile Shoes - Jimmy Nail

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 

But just 'cause I missed it 

No need to get all bitter 'n twisted 

Pocket full of promises 

But promises don't buy your things or pay your way 

I had it my palm girl 

Now there's just an empty hand down there today 

But just 'cause I missed it 

No need to get all bitter 'n twisted 

I said just 'cause I missed it 

No need to get all bitter 'n twisted 

I tried to walk the straight line 

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 

But just 'cause I missed it 

No need to get all bitter 'n twisted 

I said just 'cause I missed it 

No need to get all bitter 'n twisted
