Devil in Her Eyes

[Verse 1]
Met her on a Tuesday
Red dress
Black sky
Said my own name to her
She just smiled and walked by
Hair fallin' like midnight
Down her back so slow
Those pretty brown eyes caught me
And they would not let me go
[Chorus]
She's got the devil in her eyes
Sugar on her tongue
She'll make you feel like the first man born
Then leave you like the last one
Every kiss a promise
Every promise just a lie
Lord
I know she's gonna kill me
But I keep runnin' to that devil in her eyes (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Every man in this town
Swears he won't get played
But they line up at her doorway
Like lambs that want the blade
She don't need no fire
To watch a good man burn
Takes your soul in small pieces
And never gives a turn
[Chorus]
She's got the devil in her eyes
Sugar on her tongue
She'll make you feel like the only one
Then leave you come undone
Every touch is heaven
'Til heaven turns to night
Lord
I know she's gonna kill me
But I keep chasin' that devil in her eyes (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
I see the bones in the shadows
Names carved into her floor
Swear I'm leavin' tomorrow
But my hand's on her door
If loving her is a sentence
I'm already doin' time
'Cause I'd rather die in her arms
Babe
Than live with her off my mind
[Chorus]
She's got the devil in her eyes
Sugar on her tongue
She'll make you feel like a brand new man
Then break you just for fun
Every kiss a promise
Every promise just a lie
Lord
I know she's gonna kill me
But I keep dying for that devil in her eyes
Yeah
I keep dying for that devil in her eyes

Slow electric blues in the BB King lineage: male vocals, clean tube-amp guitar with expressive bends and wide vibrato, walking bass and brushed snare sitting deep in the pocket. Verses stay sparse with call-and-response guitar fills, chorus swells with organ pads and a second guitar doubling the vocal melody. Final turnaround stretches the last vocal line over a lingering, crying lead., blues, beautiful
