[Verse 1]
I wear a Sunday smile
And a liar's little grin
Pretty as a church bell
Mean as gin
You saw my halo shimmer
By the bakery light
But I keep a match in my pocket
And a wink too bright
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, sugar, don't you stare so long
I can tell what you want
I twist the gold, I bend the good
Then I slide right off
[Chorus]
I’m the devil in the angel’s eyes
(Devil in the angel’s eyes)
Sweet look, bad surprise
(Sweet look, bad surprise)
Hee-hee, hoo-wee, slip and slide
(Hee-hee, hoo-wee)
I’m the devil in the angel’s eyes
(Angel’s eyes)
[Verse 2]
I keep my gloves in velvet
My secrets in a jar
I sip that honeyed sermon
Then I steal the silver star
When you lean a little closer
I go all soft and saint
But I’m twice as quick as thunder
And half as nice as paint
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, baby, hear that warning ring
Tiny as a pin
If you chase the shiny thing
You let the shadow in
[Chorus]
I’m the devil in the angel’s eyes
(Devil in the angel’s eyes)
Sweet look, bad surprise
(Sweet look, bad surprise)
Hee-hee, hoo-wee, slip and slide
(Hee-hee, hoo-wee)
I’m the devil in the angel’s eyes
(Angel’s eyes)
[Bridge]
Scat my name through the room, now
Bop-bop-ba-doo-dah
If I bat my lashes once, child
You’ll be where I want ya
[Final Chorus]
I’m the devil in the angel’s eyes
(Devil in the angel’s eyes)
Sweet look, bad surprise
(Sweet look, bad surprise)
Hee-hee, hoo-wee, slip and slide
(Hee-hee, hoo-wee)
I’m the devil in the angel’s eyes
(Angel’s eyes)
Devil in the angel’s eyes
(Devil in the angel’s eyes)
Who you trusting tonight?
(Who you trusting tonight?)
