"Pearls And Roses" lyrics - FLORENCE + THE MACHINE

I used to listen to him, sitting on my shoulders
But he's losing my affections, I've fallen for another
He made me do some bad things, but you made me do the worst
He's been around for centuries, but you were still the first

He may have fire and brimstone, all the power in the world
But I'm not trying to impress him now that I'm your girl
He says he wants me back and I don't know what to do
'Cause I don't need the devil now that I've got you

When he told me to take one, you tell me to take four
And when he said smash the window, you say break down the
Door!

He sent me pearls and roses, a diamond necklace too
Oh and I don't need the devil, now that I've got you
We don't need the storm when we're making our own thunder
And we don't need the reaper, we're already six feet under

If you can pull the trigger, I will load the gun
And if you can tie a knot, I will make sure that you're hung
If you can find the pills, I will make that bed
And I don't need the devil, I've got you instead

If you can pull the trigger, I will load the gun
And if you can tie the knot, I will make sure that you're hung
If you can find the pills, I will make that bed
And I don't need the devil, I've got you instead
