Madonna - “Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You” Lyrics

It’s quiet as it is tonight
You’d almost think you were saved
Your eyes are full of surprises
They cannot predict my fate
Waiting underneath the stars
There’s something you should know
The angels they surround my heart
Telling me to let you go

I bet you couldn’t
I bet you couldn’t recognize but I’ve been hidin’ to it
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I’ll get through it and you won’t even realize
Falling through your own disguise

It’s like over and over
You’re pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I’ve seen behind your eyes
Now I’m sober
The more intoxicating my mind

Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
I do, I do

You almost proved yourself this time
That all the saints be praised
You hide your sadness behind your smile
And you keep your lost heartbreaks
The steps that are just on the ledge
Is much higher than it seems
That I’ve been on that ledge before
You can’t hide yourself from me

I bet you couldn’t
I bet you couldn’t recognize, I still play bad to it
Who am I to criticize
Somehow I’ll get through it and you won’t even realize
Falling through your own disguise

It’s like over and over
You’re pushin’ me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I’ve seen behind your eyes
Now I’m sober
The more intoxicating my mind

Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
I do, I do

It’s like over and over
You’re pushin’ me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and over I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it’s over
You can lie to me right through your smile
I’ve seen behind your eyes
Now I’m sober
The more intoxicating my mind

Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, I do
I do, I do

Even the devil wouldn’t recognize you

i barely couldn’t (not bet) on chorus
2nd verse is fooled, (not proved)

As quiet, not its
you can lie to me right thru your smile (not ride)

I adore this song!
can’t stop listening to it
the music and the verse are great!!!

as quiet as it is tonight
you’d almost think you were safe
your eyes, are full of surprises
they cannot predict my fate
waiting underneath the stars
there something you should know
the angels they surround my heart
telling me to let you go

i barely couldn’t
i barely couldn’t recognize
but i played right into it
who am i to criticise
somehow i’ll get through it
and you won’t even realize
falling through your own disguise

it’s like over and over
you’re pushing me right down to the floor
i should just walk away
over and over
i keep on coming back for more
i play into your fantasy
now that it’s over
you can lie to me right through your smile
i see behind your eyes
now i’m sober, no more intoxicating my mind

even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do, i do, i do

you almost fooled yourself this time
that all the saints be praised
you hide your sadness behind your smile
and you keep your lost heartbreaks
the steps that edge along the ledge
it’s much higher than it seems
but i’ve been on that ledge before
you can’t hide yourself from me

i barely couldn’t
i barely couldn’t recognize
i still played right into it
who am i to criticise
somehow i’ll get through it
and you won’t even realize
falling through your own disguise

it’s like over and over
you’re pushing me right down to the floor
i should just walk away
over and over
i keep on coming back for more
i play into your fantasy
now that it’s over
you can lie to me right through your smile
i see behind your eyes
now i’m sober, no more intoxicating my mind

even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do, i do, i do

it’s like over and over
you’re pushing me right down to the floor
i should just walk away
over and over
i keep on coming back for more
i play into your fantasy
now that it’s over
you can lie to me right through your smile
i see behind your eyes
now i’m sober, no more intoxicating my mind

even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do
even the devil wouldn’t recognize you
i do, i do, i do

some of these lyrics are tough:

working off of diego’s lyrics, these are my notes:

* i don’t think it’s “i barely couldn’t”, i think it’s “i bet he couldn’t”

* the chorus is “even the devil wouldn’t recognize you, BUT i do” - listen carefully, it’s in there!

*could it be “LET all the saints be praised”?

*could it be “and you keep your lost heart BRACED”?

does anyone know where the official lyrics are, if they’re posted anywhere?

thanks.

*
