You came from the city streets to my little country town Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong Woman of the world leave my world alone I don't know about the things the bright lights taught to you My country boy don't know them any better than I do I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman...
