Lyrics
I drink down to the bottom of this 5th, wanna kiss, I wanna take this girl home with me
Desire to indulge in alcohol and take someone home, despite recognizing potential deception
I'm privy to your tricks but the cherry on your lips is making it so hard to see
Acknowledging awareness of tricks but finding it difficult to resist due to temptation
I've had a drink i've had a few already missed my curfew I wanna do bad things to you
Already intoxicated, desiring to engage in reckless behavior
It's a quarter after 3 you got me thinking bad things cuz girl
Time indicating late night thoughts influenced by desires
You're bringing out the devil in me
The person's actions are being influenced negatively by someone's presence
I'll spend all my cash and have a ton left over
Spending money lavishly without concern, leading to excess
Go to bed dead sober and wake up hung over
Contrast between a sober night's end and a hungover morning
I only start playing when the games already over
Engaging in activities when it's already too late or pointless
It's a hundred degrees in the middle of October
Contradictory situation: extremely hot weather in an unexpected month
I'm sad I'm blue I got things I gatta do but I'm sitting here lonely and i'm thinkin bout you
Feeling lonely and distracted, unable to focus on responsibilities
I don't mean to be obscene but i've been having bad dreams cuz girl
Disturbed by inappropriate dreams influenced by someone's impact
You're bringing out the devil in me
Repetition emphasizing the person's belief that someone is instigating negative behavior
You're bringing out the devil in me
-You're bringing out the devil in me
-How many "blank" loves "blank" names written on the wall are written by folks who ain't in love at all
Questioning the authenticity of love declarations and relationships
I'm picking up the slack then i'm dropping the ball
Trying to compensate for shortcomings but ultimately failing
I'm gettin down your name but I ain't listening at all
Not genuinely paying attention or caring about the person mentioned
I like how war is never done and when kids play with guns
Expressing a liking for conflict and chaos
When my mom starts to yell and when my friends die young
Mentioning distressing situations and a fascination with darkness
I like a punch below the belt and how warm it is in hell
Enjoying malicious behavior and discomfort
I like thinking one thing and then saying something els
Deliberate contradiction between thoughts and words
I'll spend all my cash and have a ton left over
Reiteration of reckless behavior leading to the same consequences
Go to bed dead sober and wake up hung over
-I only start playing when the games already over
-It's a hundred degrees in the middle of October
-I'm sad I'm blue I got things I gatta do but I'm sitting here lonely and i'm thinkin bout you
Continued distraction and preoccupation with the person
I don't mean to be obscene but i've been having bad dreams cuz girl
Continued impact of someone's presence leading to unsettling dreams
You're bringing out the devil in me
Repetition emphasizing the negative influence of the person
You're bringing out the devil in me
-You're bringing out the devil in me
-You're bringing out the devil in me
-I'll spend all my cash and have a ton left over
-Go to bed dead sober and wake up hung over
-I only start playing when the games already over
-It's a hundred degrees in the middle of October
-I'm sad I'm blue I got things I gatta do but I'm sitting here lonely and i'm thinkin bout you
-I don't mean to be obscene but i've been having bad dreams cuz girl
-You're bringing out the devil in me
-You're bringing out the devil in me
-You're bringing out the devil in me
-You're bringing out the devil in me
-You're bringing out the devil in me
Final repetition reinforcing the belief that the person is inciting negative behavior
You're bringing out the devil in me
