[Intro]
She walks in, every good rule breaks
Gold on her fingers, fire in her gaze
I know the warning, I know her name
Still I lean closer when she calls me the same
[Verse 1]
Red lipstick on a coffee cup
She says, “You’re trouble,” then she turns it up
Black silk jacket, borrowed car
She makes a small room feel twice as far
She keeps a matchbook from a motel town
Says she never stays when the sun goes down
I should leave, but I miss the sign
Every bad idea looks better in her eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody says, “Run while you can”
But she puts her hand inside my hand
I hear heaven, I taste the flame
When she smiles, I forget my name
[Chorus]
The devil is a woman, and she’s calling me home
She wears a little danger like a diamond of her own
The devil is a woman, got me losing control
I came to save my soul, now she’s taking my soul
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, what can I do?
Oh-oh, I keep coming back to you
[Verse 2]
She knows the back door of every bar
Leaves a tip in cash and a lipstick mark
She tells me secrets with a sideways grin
Then asks me if I’m ready to begin
Her perfume lingers on my shirt
One little touch and the lesson hurts
I’ve got a prayer on the tip of my tongue
But she laughs, and the prayer comes undone
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody says, “Run while you can”
But she puts her hand inside my hand
I hear heaven, I taste the flame
When she smiles, I forget my name
[Chorus]
The devil is a woman, and she’s calling me home
She wears a little danger like a diamond of her own
The devil is a woman, got me losing control
I came to save my soul, now she’s taking my soul
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m a fool, maybe she’s a curse
Maybe every blessing has to hurt first
If loving her is my final mistake
Let the record show I chose the flame
[Breakdown]
No, I won’t run
No, I won’t hide
She’s got my heart
On the other side
[Final Chorus]
The devil is a woman, and she’s calling me home
She wears a little danger like a diamond of her own
The devil is a woman, got me losing control
I came to save my soul, now she’s taking my soul
[Outro]
I know what she is, I know where this goes
Still I hold her close when the cold wind blows
If loving the devil means I lose it all
Then I’ll fall in love with the devil when she calls
