This version of Better the Devil You Know is a radically reworked orchestral mix of this song, as heard in Kylie's orchestral compilation album The Abbey Road Sessions, first released on October 24, 2012 in Japan. Gone are the Stock, Aitken & Waterman production and the fast-paced tempo, albeit with a torch song-esque production headed by Steve Anderson and Colin Elliot, retooled for such a dramatic (and seductive) moment on the album.

The original version of
Better the Devil You Know was first released on April 30, 1990 as the lead single from Kylie Minogue's third studio album, Rhythm of Love. The dance-pop song is considered to be one of Minogue's best works and has been frequently highlighted by various music critics in subsequent Kylie compilations that included the track.


(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)

Say you won't leave me no more;
I'll take you back again.
No more excuses, no-no,
'cause I've heard them all before,
a hundred times or more...

Chorus
I'll forgive and forget,
if you say you'll never go,
'cause it's true what they say:
it's better the devil you know...
It's better the devil you know...

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)

Our love wasn't perfect, I know.
I think I know the score!
If you say you love me, oh, boy;
I can't ask for more!
I'll come if you should call...

Chorus
I'll forgive and forget,
if you say you'll never go,
'cause it's true what they say:
it's better the devil you know...
It's better the devil you know...

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)

Instrumental break...

Chorus
I'll forgive and forget,
if you say you'll never go,
'cause it's true what they say:
it's better the devil you know...
It's better the devil you know...

And I'll be here every day,
waiting for your love to show!
Yes, it's true what they say:
it's better the devil you know...
It's better the devil you know...
It's better the devil you know...

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)

I tried to stay to the style of the complation's album cover, while trying to portray some sort of a romantic scene for Fluttershy and RD.
