Viewing lyrics for Teresa by Jerry Dowell Band.

Don't go without good bye Teresa,
Don't go without just one last farewell,
I don't mind your leavin',
It's the company you been keepin',
Teresa, don't let them take you down,

In your tortured search,
Of a brand new way,
Of gettin' by from day to day,
You've taken up,
A game that you can't win,
(chorus)
The devil's in your heart Teresa,
Don't let him get into your soul,
A devil's got your heart Teresa,
Don't let him get a hold on your soul,

It takes more and more each time you try,
Worldly ways to satisfy
A hunger that's born down deep inside,
You know tears alone can't wash away,
All the pain of yesterday,
Hidden behind the beauty of your smile,

The devil's in your heart Teresa,
Don't let him get into your soul,
A devil's got your heart Teresa,
Don't let him get a hold on your soul,

Everything soon passes by,
Like painted wings on a butterfly,
Destined to be gone before your eyes,
But I don't like to think of you,
Face down and turnin' blue,
On the floor of some dirty hotel room,

The devil's in your heart Teresa,
Don't let him get into your soul,
A devil's got your heart Teresa,
Don't let him get a hold on your soul,
