Devil Inside a Bottle

The Devil Inside A Bottle

The devil inside the bottle, only kept laughing
at me. As he saw how I got lost for a love that
couldn't be. I just kept drinking and drinking.
The devil kept looking at me.

I told him and asked him to help me, so my love 
could come to me. The devil told me - you once 
had a chance and lost it. Your love now has 
someone else and you, only belong to me.

I kept drinking and drinking hoping my love's
face to see. I didn't realized what a fool my 
drinking had made out of me. All I could see was
the devil inside the bottle, that kept laughing 
at me...
