Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little devil
Tells foul jokes and shrieks
With a poison
And a caustic kind of glee
And the angel
Whispers and pleads
With a subtle
Notion of greed
[Chorus]
I'll say what you want me to say
'Cause I'm hardly in the right place
You sap my will
And drink my strength
I'll do what you want me to do
Not sure why I need to please you
When it drains my hope
And steals my youth
All to please you
All to please you
[Verse 2]
(Put the drinks down)
(Sink back in your seat)
Put the drinks down
Sink back in your seat
Feel disheartened
I can feel the burning heat
Like an angel
Who fell to her feet
It's a puzzle
Missing a piece
[Chorus]
I'll say what you want me to say
'Cause I'm hardly in the right place
You sap my will
And drink my strength
I'll do what you want me to do
Not sure why I need to please you
When it drains my hope
And steals my youth
All to please you
All to please you
[Instrumental]
I'll say what you want me to say
'Cause I'm hardly in the right place
You sap my will
And drink my strength
I'll do what you want me to do
Not sure why I need to please you
When it drains my hope
And steals my youth
