Corrections: "I'd rather be the Devil /than/ /to/ /be/ my woman's /man/ (x2). 'Cause nothin' but the Devil, (x3), knows my baby's /mind/. Meaning: My woman mistreats me so badly, its hurts all the time to be myself. But I'm so passionate about her that I still want to be with her. The only way to be with her & not be hurt by her, is to be just as bad as she is. The only one that bad is the Devil.
