The most tender place in my heart is for strangers I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous Hangin'round the ceiling half the time Hangin'round the ceiling half the time Compared to some I've been around But I really tried so hard That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on" In the end I was the mean girl Or somebody's in-between girl Now it's the devil I love And that's as funny as real love   I leave the party at three a.m. Alone, thank God   With a valium from the bride It's the devil I love (It's the devil I love) And that's as funny as real love   And that's as real as true love    (x3) That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on" That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"
