That Ole Devil Called Love Lyrics
It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly old son of a gun again
He keeps telling me I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that rain
Still have those tears
And those rocks on my heart
S'pose I didn't stay
Run away wouldn't play
The devil what a potion he would brew
He'd follow me round
Bill me up
Tear me down
Till I'll be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up that fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that sorry song
I've just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love
He'd follow me round
Bill me up
Tear me down
Till I'll be so bewildered
I wouldn't know what to do
Might as well give up that fight again
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
When he sings that sorry song
I've just gotta tag along
With that ole devil called love
With that ole devil called love
Meaning of That Ole Devil Called Love
It’s that ole devil called love again, a relentless force pulling you back into a destructive relationship. Alison Moyet lays bare the agonizing truth of being repeatedly ensnared by this “sly old son of a gun,” acknowledging the familiar cycle of pain and bewilderment. The lyrics detail how love consistently floods her with sorrow – rain in her eyes, tears in her dreams, and rocks within her heart – yet she finds herself drawn back, unable to resist its manipulative charm. She recognizes the “sorry song” he’ll sing, convincing her of his righteousness, and admits a fatalistic acceptance: she's destined to be "bewildered" and ultimately, to “tag along,” knowing this devilous love will continue to “bill me up and tear me down.” The song captures a raw, vulnerable emotion – the frustrating, almost inescapable pull of a toxic connection, highlighting the artist’s message of recognizing the destructive power of love and accepting her own vulnerability within it.
