[Verse 1]
I want to be near fresh laundry
It's been too many years of not folding

No!
Hey!

I want to attend nice parties
'Round my neck and head, thin jewelry
[Refrain]
These days, no one's bothering me 'bout nothing
These days, no one's bothering me 'bout nothing
These days (These days)
These days (These days)
[Chorus]
You said you're always on my side
But what if my side has changed too much?
Then tell me, who am I? (Oh)
You said you're always on my side
But what if my side has lived too long?
Something has to die
Who am I?
[Post-Chorus]
No!
Hey!
[Verse 3]
I want to wake up (I want to wake up)
To friends calling (Friends calling)
I think I've had enough (Think I've had enough)
Of hard mornings (Hard mornings)

Something has to die
Who am I?
Who am I?

I want to be near fresh laundry

I know
[Post-Chorus]
I could pretend that I'm just praying now But I'm only on my knees
[Verse 2]
I want to, wanna get free (Get free) But staying with you is easier (Easy), than leaving Feels like a holiday breeze when we go up But you bring me down to my knees when push comes to shove Guess that's the price that you pay when you're in love (Uh, uh)

Baby, you're the devil I know (I know) Better than the devil I don't (I don't) Maybe I could stop, but I won't (I won't) 'Cause, baby, you're the devil I know (I know) I know
[Bridge]
I could pretend that I'm just praying now But I'm only on my knees I could scream, “Somebody help me out” But the wicked one is me, hee-hee
[Chorus]
Baby, you're the devil I know (I know, I know, ooh) Better than the devil I don't (Better than the devil that I don't) Maybe I could stop, but I won't (I won't, I won't, oh) 'Cause, baby, you're the devil I know (I know)

You're going to Heaven 'cause you are the devil I know You are the devil I know
