when the devil gets the best of me lyrics

Sometimes whiskey, sometimes pills
Silly things I need to get my thrills
Sometimes women are like cocaine
Got to have 'em more and more everyday

Yeah, the man in the mirror
Ain't no man like I oughta be
Tell me why can't I see
When the Devil gets the best of me?

I've left heartaches, thought they'd mend
I know how to lose some real good friends
I get angry, I stay mad
Can't get happy with this life I have

Yeah, the man in the mirror
Ain't no man like I oughta be
Tell me why can't I see
When the Devil gets the best of me?

Now I'm a little wiser than I was back then
But still I'm stumblin' everyday
Tryin' to walk a little straighter
Tryin' to find a way to forgive

The man in the mirror
Ain't no man like I oughta be
Tell me why can't I see
When the Devil gets the best of me?

Yeah, the man in the mirror
Ain't no man like I oughta be
Tell me why, oh, why can't I see
When the Devil gets the best of me?

Tell me why can't I see
When the Devil gets the best of me?
