Well, you think
You're the hardest thing a going
The way things come to you
You think you're in
But one of these days
That wind's a gonna start blowing
You may not lose
The big boy, you won't win
Cause the devil gets his dues
And you'll start paying
When he collects, you know
You'll pay your debt
The devil gets his dues
Like I've been saying
You hurt just like you've hurt me
You can bet
When it comes to love
You wear the devil's menu
And you bribe a lot
That you just can't be hurt
You're not the only one
Who knows the trick or two
Some day I might
Rub your face in the dirt
Well, your little play house
Is sitting on sticks of dynamite
And I get mad
Tonight and light the fuze
If you come in
And find out that my dog bites
You'll know the devil's here
Collecting dues
Cause the devil gets his dues
And you'll start paying
When he collects, you know
You'll pay your debt
The devil gets his dues
Like I've been saying
You hurt just like you've hurt me
You can bet
