Justin Timberlake - Devil Wouldnt Recognize You Demo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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's something you should know
The angels, they surround my heart, telling me to let you go

[Pre-Chorus]
I bet he couldn't, I bet he couldn't recognize
But I played right into it, who am I to criticize?
Somehow I'll get through it and you won't even realize
Falling through your own disguise

[Chorus]
It's like over and over, you'rе pushing me right down to the floor
I should just walk away
Over and ovеr, I keep on coming back for more
I play into your fantasy
Now that it's over, you can't 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

[Verse 2]
You almost fooled yourself this time, let all of the saints be praised
You hide your sadness behind your smile and you keep your lost heart raised (Lost heart raised)
With steps that edge along the ledge is much higher than it seems
But I've been on that ledge before, you can't hide yourself from me
[Pre-Chorus]
I bet he couldn't, I bet he couldn't recognize
I still played right into it, who am I to criticize?
Somehow I'll get through it and you won't even realize
Falling through your own disguise

[Chorus]
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't 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

[Instrumental Breakdown with Male Backing Vocals & Guitars]

[Chorus]
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't 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, but I do
[Outro]
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do, I-I, I do
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, but I do
Even the devil wouldn't recognize you, you
But I do
