Lyrics

Angel Is the Devil

[Verse]

Everybody call her angel

She's no stranger to the devil I know

His mark is on her body

His fire's burning in her soul

When we're making love

He's laughing at us down below

She's the devil I know

[Chorus]

She's the devil I know

She's the devil I know

Said she come from heaven

My angel is the devil I know

She's the devil I know

[Verse]

Now she's the kind of woman

Keep you coming back for more

Got the kind of face

You swear you seen someplace before

Well, it could've been your mama

Could've been a Mexican whore

She's the devil I know

[Chorus]

She's the devil I know

She's the devil I know

Said she come from heaven

My angel is the devil I know

She's the devil I know

[Verse]

Now she'd drag you straight to hell

I can tell, I think I'll just go

Yeah, the devil sent her here

To deliver me body and soul

Yeah, and every inch she drags me down

I'm closer to the glow

She's the devil I know

[Chorus]

She's the devil I know

She's the devil I know

Said she come from heaven

My angel is the devil I know

She's the devil I know

Devil I know

She's the devil I know

Said she come from heaven

My angel is the devil I know

She's the devil I know
