I can remember when love was so easy
Summers were breezy
blue skies
And I can remember how you came unto me
Tried to undo me
with lies
···Never thought I’d get through it
···Never though I could do it
···But I put you behind, Devil Doll
I can remember all the years that followed
All the times I swallowed
my pride
And I can remember nights, staring at ceilings
Always keeping my feelings
inside
···Never thought I’d get through it
···Never though I could do it
···But I put you behind, Devil Doll
Now those times are just mem’ries of growing
Of years never knowing
it all
Now those times are just mem’ries in the back of my mind
Since I put you behind
Devil Doll
···Never thought I’d get through it
···Never though I could do it
···But I put you behind, Devil Doll
···I put you behind, Devil Doll

Written in 1975 or 1976. When I was 21 or 22.
Obviously, not a healthy relationship :-)
