A DEVIL LIKE ME (NEEDS AN ANGEL LIKE YOU)
(Red Simpson / Don Rich)

Buck Owens - 1966
Dick Curless & Kay Adams - 1966


DICK CURLESS:
Well a devil like me needs an angel like you 
To really tame me down
KAY ADAMS:
If an angel like me had a devil like you 
I'd stop your runnin' around
DICK CURLESS:
Yeah, I'd stay at home like a good man should 
I'd never ever make you blue
'Cause a devil like me needs an angel like you 
You bet your little heart he do

KAY ADAMS:
Well, you've never been one for a steady girl 
You've always played the field
A-this one, that one, every other which one
Just another turn o' the wheel
DICK CURLESS:
But when you walked in with your big brown eyes
And your pretty little dress of blue
I knew a devil like me needs an angel like you 
You bet your little heart he do

(Instrumental Break)

DICK CURLESS:
Well, if a devil me had an angel like you 
I'd change my reputation
'Cause a devil like me with a shady past
Ain't got no recommandation
KAY ADAMS:
I'd give you real love, true love
A whole lotta sweet love
And make your every dreams come true
Yes, an angel like me needs a devil like you 
You bet your little heart she do

DICK CURLESS:
Well, a devil like me needs an angel like you 
To really tame me down
KAY ADAMS:
If an angel like me had a devil like you 
I'd stop your runnin' around
DICK CURLESS:
Yeah, I'd stay at home like a good man should 
I'd never ever make you blue
'Cause a devil like me needs an angel like you 
You bet your little heart he do
KAY ADAMS: 'Cause a devil like you 
DICK CURLESS: Needs an angel like you 
BOTH: You bet your little heart we do
