THE DEVIL IN NEW YORK

The sun's in my eyes,
And you expect me to play your game.
Well I'm not that kind of naiive,
And I can see what you stand to gain.
The money's on the table,
And you expect me to sell my soul.
Well you can go back down to Georgia,
With your voice of solid gold.

I won't play your game.
You won't tempt me at all to stray,
'Cause I got a lifetime full of reasons
To just let you walk away
I won't play your game.
Feel free to seduce away,
Cause I've got a lifetime full of reasons, 
And I won't be giving in today.

Now the fire's in your eyes,
You can see that my will is strong,
Yeah my ambition is a fickle servant,
But it'll never ever steer me wrong.
See I know, what you're doing,
Tryin to make me think that I can win,
And with the odds stacked high against me,
I must admit you've got me wonderin...

I won't play your game.
You won't tempt me at all to stray,
'Cause I got a lifetime full of reasons
To just let you walk away
I won't play your game.
Feel free to seduce away,
Cause I've got a lifetime full of reasons, 
And I won't be giving in today.

Just give it up, little man.
You won't get me no way no how,
See you can scream and you can yell until your lungs give out
But you're still not coming into this house.
So go do what it is that you do
To someone else who might be playing your fool
'Cause I'm gonna lock up this door and close my eyes
Just like a kid trying to stay home from school.

I won't play your game.
You won't tempt me at all to stray,
'Cause I got a lifetime full of reasons
To just let you walk away
I won't play your game.
Feel free to seduce away,
Cause I've got a lifetime full of reasons, 
And I won't be giving in today.
