She got married when the time was right

Virgin on her wedding night

She wasn't one for a storybook romance

But he's king of the castle no questions asked



CHORUS

Devious Nature

No chance to grow

He had one intention

She had no control

Devious Nature

She was his to own

He had no intention

Of letting go



He was never too emotional

Real men don't cry at all

Ornaments adorn her face

Glamour is a woman's place



CHORUS

Devious Nature

They were always told

Not to break the silence

Not to break the mold

Devious Nature

Can be dangerous

When there is no balance

Someone's powerless



BRIDGE

"I believed we'd never change", she said

"Now we're rivals while we play pretend"



Little girls are delicate

Brush up on their etiquette

Giggle and play hard-to-get

Little boys are tough as bricks

They brush up on their politics

Become heroes, become mavericks



CHORUS

Devious Nature

They were always told

Not to break the silence

Not to break the mold



She was a virgin on her wedding night

She got married when the time was right

You know real men,

Real men don't cry at all



Such Devious Nature...
